Comment on Almost a quarter of soup on sale in UK supermarkets has too much salt, study finds
NKBTN@feddit.uk 3 weeks agoSure, but you could instead make a giant pan of e.g. spag bol one evening, put in individual tupperware tubs and freeze them. Then bring into work as an when. Saves umpteen trips to the shops.
I don’t mean to deride them in every circumstance - I probably buy them 3 or 4 times a year when I haven’t been able to shop/cook for some reason. But if they weren’t available, that would probably be better for consumers and the environment. A tin of soup is much easier to recycle

I hate cooking, and especially batch cooking so I can eat cold soulless slop chicken later to keep myself alive for 0.83 years longer and I hate meal planning and how much time and mental energy it takes, absolutely none is acceptable to me.
It kills my soul little by little and honestly I’m sure it’s fine for some people, but I’m not doing that, the money saved is minimal because food costs next to nothing compared to housing etc. I could order takeaway everyday and it wouldn’t substantially put me further away from house ownership than I am now.
I WFH and I love the fact I can toss the little fuckers into the microwave and not worry about it and consume ze slop and get back to what I was doing quickly without much disruption.

Ok, all you needed to say was “i hate cooking”

You advocated for banning ready meals because you are crazy, I had to elaborate on it to hopefully get across that your viewpoint is insane and you should not hold it, nor should any sane person hold it.

I advocated for banning them because they’re polluting, unhealthy, and 500000 years of human history shows we don’t need them. That you insist we DO need them is probably false.
I’ll take your personal argument for why YOU use them - they’re easy and convenient - but it doesn’t justify their continued existence, any more than than the truth that “safely disposing of dangerous chemicals is expensive and inconvenient” justifies dumping them into lakes and rivers
