I started cooking for myself at age 12. Feel like my parents should do some sort of jailtime for feeding me this garbage so regularly.
sorry you were raped
>>21636644my parents biochemically sabotaged me and doomed me to manletism
>>21636644Wouldn't know about that kind of upbringing. My mother is an excellent cook who encouraged me to be an adventurous eater. I grew up thinking breakfast cereal was a poverty food because I ate an omelette every morning before school. I'm also curious to know what kind of chickens you raised.
>>21636644kind of in between for me. 'real' meals actually cooked on the stove and all, but all ingredients originating from some jar or box or can, and none of it being particularly good or healthy.
>>21636668My blue Cochin eats better than I did growing up.
Yeah I ate frozen garbage and really fatty unhealthy cooked food as a kid and my parents could never understand why I was chubby. Once I got my own place and had to figure out how to cook and eat normal food all the weight melted off in like a couple months. Idk how people afford that shit either it's insanely expensive when you think about it.
>>21636644It was okay cooked food but chronically underseasoned and not particularly enjoyable to eat
>>21636702That's cute. I guess you couldn't handle Rhode Island Reds.
>wasn't your childhood shit? you should become parentsa certain board is leaking again
>>21636865/K/?
>>21636655No that's just your genetics. They did the best with the failure they had
>>21637067to be fair what he said still stands, unless he was adopted.
>>21637067thats literally what he said anon
>>21636668Yup I relate to this. McCormick used to sell a Chinese pepper steak version of pic related. It my least favorite dish my parents made. The meat and vegetables would essentially just be boiled in the nasty white-grey gravy this shit would make. Served over extremely starchy rice (they didn't know you can rinse rice). I'd gag while eating it.
>>21637240>>21636684I meant to reply to this post
My dad wasn't a very good person but boy could he cook.
>>21637067No, genetics are only part of it. My twin and I are 6'1 (he's technically 6'0,5). One of my singleton brothers is 6'2, another was 6'8 (he died) and the third is 5'4. Why? He had an accident when he was a kid and spent two years in a hospital bed, not getting delicious Alpine cooking from my mum. His daughter? 5'9, proving she got the height genes but was also getting a proper diet.So yes: diet has an enormous impact on growth.
>>21636644On the one hand I went through this, but as my mom got older she started cooking with better ingredients. On the other hand I can't really blame boomers because they were blessed and cursed with stable 9-5 jobs, and when you have been at work all day sometimes the last thing you want to do is go grocery shopping because it adds like 2 hours to your day if you get caught in traffic.
>>21636644>Feel like my parents should do some sort of jailtime for feeding me this garbage so regularly.You deserved the abuse you got, and I know you know it
>>21636655Samesies, cereal for brekkie, school hot lunch, and take out for din-din or TV dinners.
>>21636644Nope... Never experienced that. Luckily.
>>21636644It wasn't that bad but it definitely wouldn't be something I feed my kids.Most of it came out of a box and the few vegetables we would have would be lettuce drowned in ranch or overcooked broccoli. In fact that was a major problem for my parents, almost everything was overcooked. Meat, vegetables, fish, eggs. I was just eating under-seasoned mush most nights. It was only when I became an adult did I realize how terrible my parents were at cooking.Not bitter about it, but I definitely use it to tease them when I visit and cook something for them that's properly cooked and seasoned.
>>21636644Yep, that was me too. Entire generations couldn't cook on my mom's side, dad's side died off too fast for me to make solid informed opinions, but he couldn't cook either. Basically had to deal with canned food, freezer meals, and cheap frozen pizza when not getting fed at globoslop inc. restaurants. >>21636705Nah, it's actually cheap when sourced from dollar stores and other poverty shops. We had massive tubs of margarine for absurdly cheap amounts. Couple it with buffets - those are god sends for people with kids who wolf shit down - and you can survive pretty cheaply.
My mom would make pancakes all the time without properly sifting the baking powder and soda into the flour so randomly you'd get an insanely bitter disgusting lump in a bite of pancake. This is an innocent mistake to make, but what bothers me is that when confronted with something minor like this she would have some canned response like "well this isn't a restaurant so just eat it" or "beggers can't be choosers". As a kid I would just roll my eyes and deal with it because parents are lame, but now that I'm around the same age as she was when I was a teen I realize just how emotionally immature she really was. Imagine being unable to handle the criticism of a child.
>>21637242when my parents divorced my dad started dating someone who spammed pepper steak multiple times a week, always with those canned baby corns. not sure I could stomach eating it now even decades later.
>>21637402>as my mom got older she started cooking with better ingredientsThe opposite for me, parents cooked good food when my older brother was growing up but all I got was quick cooking slop
>>21636655Many such cases, they do it on purpose
>>21636705Same, man. When i started living on my own and realized the amount of vegetables you can buy for the same price as a few ultra processed foods i was shocked and wondered what the hell were my parents doing with me. Lost most of the weight in months, too.
>>21636644>Goyzzanot>Goy'zaHow am I supposed to take this shit post seriously?
>>21636644My mom wasn't the best cook, but she did her best and the food she made for me was one of the ways she showed her love for me. She did also throw me some sloppa and I enjoy shitty processed things too because of it but I control myself.I cook often for the people I care about and have become pretty good because there is a deep underlying motivation, where giving a good dish to people that they enjoy brings me great happiness. On the flipside, when I fail hard on a dish there are times when I feel a despair that nothing else brings.
>>21636644Stop blaming your parents for being fat.
>>21640912
>>21640960Much better now I'm seething.
>>21636644>based parents feeding you delicious meals and nutritious meat>faggot faggot ''cooking'' his wife's kids fruits and cow food that has no nutritional value???Little Tyrone and Quee'sha will kill you when they grow up. if they even survive living on this slop
I eat a lot of stews and soups. They're not photogenic but they're usually pretty healthy. Meat, broth, vegetables, peas, lentils, etc.
>>21636644This board would equally hate the straw man on the left and the right of this image.
>>21636644Fucking hell, Meghan Markel posts on /ck/!
>>21637377>be me>eat processed food entire life>terrible diet, rarely ate healthily>still grew to 6'1
>>21636644>Feel like my parents should do some sort of jailtime for feeding me this garbage so regularly.I think people should have to go through training and get a license to have children, because otherwise they get ungrateful shits like you.
