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]

It's not wasteful, inefficient and fattening. It's just not something you want to do. Your black and white thinking, paired with insults, can't be winning you a lot of friends. [/quote]

Dude, don't be so harsh on PP.  She's pretty much admitted she has an eating disorder.  Telling her no one likes her really isn't very nice. [/quote]

But it's likely very true. Having an eating disorder is not an excuse to be rude to those of us who don't.[/quote]

Where was I rude?[/quote]

NP, and you weren't.  You were direct about how you think and why.  I didn't see any  intent or desire to insult others in your posts.  The interpretation that can come from the kind of blunt statements you made, though, is that you are making judgement on the character of those who find enjoyment in cooking and eating food.

FWIW, I find your take interesting, because it's so different from how I operate.  I love to cook and bake, especially for others.  I suck at it, so it's REALLY inefficient from your perspective, but I enjoy it a lot.  It's one of the ways I show people I love them, and I find it relaxing and soothing.  I used to have a tire (or three) around my midsection, but that was from eating too much crappy food.  I'm not remotely fat now, and if anything I cook and bake a lot more than I used to.[/quote]
