having been on both sides of this argument, i can safely tell you that we live in an age of decadence. people no longer eat to sustain themselves, they eat because they want to taste all those different flavors. like yeah, beans and rice are cheap as fuck, but you eat the same shit for more than a week and you're gonna get bored quick. if you're not changing your entire lifestyle around, there really is no motivation to cook and eat at home. i grew up eating that slop because i was raised by a tv and didn't really have anyone to teach me how to be independent. i learned how to enjoy cooking my own food later on in life because my shitty eating habits finally caught up with me and the doctors said that i was headed towards an early grave if i didn't change. you must understand that our society is extremely sick, and it stems from godlessness. the further we stray from the almighty, the more people are going to live a self-destructive lifestyle.
