    When I’m briefly home after my first job and before my second one, I am physically and mentally incapable of cooking. Either food gets delivered while I pass out on the couch or I don’t eat.

      In a sane world people would be allowed time and energy to prepare food for themselves, sorry it’s like that

        I think the saner option would be communal food preparation, but like with real human food and not the capitalist slop that is fast food. A lot of people don’t want to, or don’t have the energy for cooking. It’s pretty time consuming and energy intensive, even when you have the time for it. For most of human history communal food prep was the norm.

        When I was at school at a fairly large university I ate at the cafeterias and literally I never ate better and more healthy in my life than when I was there. The food was just normal food, and it was always available and high quality. I feel like cafeterias like it should be possible all over the place, sure it was a well funded school but I don’t really see why they shouldn’t be possible. I dream of returning to school often for that reason, as well as the walkable layout and close knit community.

          University meal plan costs are pretty high from what I remember. Sure it’s possible, but you need the facilities, you need the people making food for you and cleaning up after. There’s reasons making your own meals from stuff you buy at the grocery store can be a fraction of the cost.
