Anecdotally, a pressure-cooked pot of beans can take over 40 minutes to knock together. So it is not that simple.

- f1shy 11mo agoLike if the single mum living of a minimum wage has time and energy while dressing the 2 kids to not forget such things. Sorry I know such people that I profoundly admire. I feel is just unfair such a comment. I have enough time and little stress in my life, I can plan what I’m going to cook the next week. But I could never criticize that people for not being able to.
- somenameforme 11mo agoCritique isn't necessarily just mean spirited. It's rather difficult to know what you don't know, and so many people do awful things without knowing there are alternatives. The example he gave of beans is perfect. They can be done almost completely passively, are healthy, and dirt cheap. Add some rice, a meat, and you have a delicious dirt cheap meal that takes probably less than 5 minutes of active effort, and also has minimal cleanup time as well. Like this article had some quote about somebody in it spending $20 at McDonalds for some drinks and bemoaning there being nothing healthier. That's simply ridiculous. And if somebody told them that and explained why - they could very possibly dramatically increase the quality of this person's life.
- dyauspitr 11mo agoAll your comments are painting yourself as a victim and it’s really irking me. I also feels like you’re making a mountain out of a mole hill. This is not rocket science. It’s cooking stuff. It’s cheap and easy and you should be able to do it after 10 hour work shift.

- bombcar 11mo agoIf we replaced half of schooling with simple planning courses and classes half the world’s problems would be solved. Of course, it’d crash the consumer market so of course it’ll never be done.
