I'm shallow and vain. I'd rather exist on half a dozen boring snacks/meals that require little effort than be the type of person who slaves over a lasagna pan and has a tire around their waist. To each her own. [/quote]

Those are the two options? Eat cold canned soup and be thin, or cook good-tasting food and be fat?

To each their own, yes, but if you think of food as something you have to consume as little as possible of, with as little enjoyment as possible, lest you get fat, that's a sign of an eating disorder.[/quote]

I am a very black and white thinker. It works for me. I'd live on soylent if it didn't cost more than what I already spend on food. Cooking elaborate meals is wasteful, inefficient and fattening. I just can't make sense of it. [/quote]

1. Why is it wasteful if you don't throw out any leftovers?  I hate wasting food.  We eat leftovers if there are any.
2. Elaborate doesn't mean it has to be unhealthy.  A Nutritionist I met told me that things like butter don't make you fat. It's the processed crap that is making us fat.
2. Inefficiency is a matter of perspective.  Cooking together with friends and family can be a social and bonding experience.  It may be "time" inefficient, but it has other purposes[/quote]

Food is fuel. You could heat your home by burning oriental rugs and midcentury danish furniture, too. If you look at either scenario in terms of $/joule you will see it is both inefficient and wasteful to eat elaborate food. [/quote]
