It's a basic need for survival and it's beyond my comprehension how it can be considered a chore.
I say this as a person that lived homeless and that comes from a line of people that had to make do with scraps.
I guess it could also be cultural, who knows.
- FeepingCreature 5y agoIt's not cultural, people are just different. I'm not poor, which is thankful because it means I can live off food bars instead of having to prepare meals daily, which would annoy me a lot.
- viraptor 5y agoDepends on a person. I don't know of a worse chore than doing shopping and I do it only once a week. Cooking every other day is meh at best too. (apart from an occasional "I want to make something really nice") Look at the old HN comments on Soylent articles with a lot of people like me. I'd be happy eating a balanced nutrients paste most days if I lived alone.
- mayniac 5y ago>that comes from a line of people that had to make do with scraps. That line is long. It only takes one generation feeding their children a diet of pre-made meals and snacks to break it.
- watwut 5y agoI am fairly middle class and I find cooking chore that takes a lot of time I would rather be doing something else.
