Not everyone knows how to cook, and fast food is the cheapest (if not necessarily cheap) option. This is kind of a weird question to me.
TV dinners at the grocery store are cheap and if you can read the box you can cook it. Same with frozen pizza, chicken nuggets, even mac n cheese isn't that hard to cook and is like $2 a box. But instead of that it's fast food despite being just as cheap and require MINIMAL prep.
? thats fast food too. i wouldnt call throwing a fully prepared and frozen meal into the oven/ microwave "cooking".
Cooking actual food has to be one of the easiest things to learn. If you literally cannot feed yourself then wtf are you even doing.
To be clear, I quite enjoy cooking and cook the vast majority of my own meals. I just don't look down on people who don't enjoy the same things as me, or perhaps were never properly taught.
You interpret describing cooking as a basic life skill as "looking down on people"? Or did you mean describing fast food as not actual food? Both are very strange to me.
Fast food is junk "food" of low nutritional value at relatively high cost compared with quality food you prepare yourself. Saying this is less than ideal is equivalent to advocating for any healthy practice. It's not elitist or "looking down on someone" it's suggesting it's freakin' easy to take care of yourself and you should.
"if you cannot feed yourself then wtf are you even doing" - nah sorry you come across as a condescending ass. People have busy lives and you seem very judgemental.
Funny, I was about to say the same about you.
