How many commenting / voting actually followed through and downloaded the content? The content itself is a mess (they admit to it) and sensible alternatives are an easy first pass.
The link is worth looking at and the recipes aren't bad. But "so you don't die" is hyperbole and you can survive on less.
I live in a food void and cooking is a passion. The link isn't bad, but it's approach is over the top.
The "so you don't die" is both black humour and a reference to it being things you might be willing/able to both assemble and eat while exhausted, depressed or otherwise impaired.
I've had days when I can't get past the activation energy required to use a frying pan, but a microwaved poached egg on toast is just about within my mental capacity. I've had days when I can't deal with anything with a significant flavour or complicated texture, but I can manage to eat a bowl of ramen over the course of an hour or so.
It's not about what you -can- survive on, the anticipated limiting factor here is the human themselves.
My wife and I both did. I thought the downloaded content is great. It’s a cookbook that I actually find entertaining to read instead of the typical over the top cookbooks out there. I also enjoyed its sense of humor and sarcasm. Perhaps it flies over the head of some people…
I did. It’s good. It’s aimed at people like me whose sole thought is “ugh, cooking? Again?”
Food is nutrients. Cooking is time spent making the nutrients edible. The more I can minimise that wasted time (both cooking and eating) the more time I have to spent on useful things.
Think of how exciting your laundry is to do. Now do it three times a day and listen to people who gush about how much they love it. That’s what it’s like. Sorry, it’s laundry; I hate it.
“So you don’t die” is basically my real thought process - 3pm rolls round and I’m thinking “I should probably eat something.. ugh”
The world would be a boring place if we were all the same. I’m glad there are people like you who care so much, and I’m also glad there are people like me :)
Be glad you have something you can enjoy so much every day!
To be clear this wasn’t meant as a diss: I know a couple of people who are similarly disinterested in food and only eat Huel, and they are absolutely fulfilled people!
