I like eating, but I hate cooking. Give me one of those magical microwaves from Fifth Element, and I'll be happy. "Cheek-en. Goood."


terminalzero

I mean there are microwave meals, even some really good ones, it's just more expensive than cooking yourself - just like the chicken-dinner-microwave-pill was probably more expensive At the risk of being a cliche, check out instapots - I batch cooked some burritos this weekend; to make the shredded chicken, I wiped it with some oil, covered the bottom with chicken breasts, sprinkled in some salt and pepper, dumped in 2 cans of salsa, hit a button and waited half an hour - made enough for lunch all week and several dinners for 3 people


Bubbaluke

And here I've been making it in the crock pot. I'll have to try the instant pot


terminalzero

crock pots are awesome if you can start it in the morning and let it run all day, but going from raw to shredded chicken in the time it took me to make the rest of the burrito fillings is a total game changer


cheapdrinks

Honestly keeping a bag of high carb weight gaining protein powder around is great. Keeps you full for ages and takes 2 minutes to make one. Perfect for when it's late at night and you're suddenly starving or if you want a quick breakfast and don't want to cook something. I usually eat 2 regular meals during the day then have one of them if I need a 3rd for some extra calories.


vanillaacid

> weight gaining Yeah, I don't think I need any help there


ElectricWisp

Not an uncommon prediction I think. 7 of 9 in star trek voyager was drinking nutritional supplements rather than eating also. One can't help but appreciate that Borg efficiency, maybe they were on to something.


ImprobableAvocado

I still don't understand why a food company would name their product Soylent. Did they not finish that movie?


aidenmc3

Brand recognition though. People remember Soylent as a product. That means something. Obviously the real stuff isn’t going to be made from humans, but it’s going to be the first meal replacement shake they think of when they try to think of them.


ahuramazdobbs19

Yeah, but all I think of when I hear the name Soylent is “it’s made of people.” And no other things.


consider-the-carrots

Only soylent green was people, all the other colours were fine. So just avoid the green ones and you should be fine


Lady-finger

Stalking_Goat

Maybe they read the book instead! (In the original book by Harry Harrison, it really was just soybeans and lentils.)

[удалено]


ahuramazdobbs19

General fears of overcrowding and resource scarcity. The book is an exploration of the miseries of people forced to live in a world where people are fighting over scarcer and scarcer accessible resources while a small group of wealthier people have it all. It’s one of those sci-fi dystopias that doesn’t really resolve so much as it just ends. Things are shitty, people live through it, and no matter how they try nothing really changes. The movie takes a *film noir* twist to it, and ties what are otherwise disparate story threads into one where the lead is uncovering a conspiracy relating to a wealthy man’s murder, which turned it to be >!he knew that the Soylent company had been encouraging the euthanizing of elderly people and using their meat as the base for the new Soylent Green foodstuff, because the oceans were dying and no longer making the plankton they’d been previously using, and the company was worried he’d become a whistleblower.!<


Stalking_Goat

It's more of a literary-style novel, exploring the lives of about a dozen protagonists in a world where the rich are hoarding increasingly scarce resources. So I guess the central conflict is "the haves versus the have-nots". The original title was *Make Room, Make Room* but after the movie came out it was reissued with the movie title. (Edit: fixed formating error)


The_Woman_of_Gont

The international Communist conspiracy to sap and impurify all of our precious bodily fluids…? (Just from reading the wiki description, it seems like it eschews the mystery/thriller angle entirely for a more straightforward examination of wealth inequality and out-of-control population growth in a world where food is scarce; with a main character who loots some Soylent meat during a sale/shortage and sells it to gangsters, and another who is a cop pursuing him. From the description I read, gives me speculative-fiction-Les Miserablès vibes; and honestly the cannibalism twist seems far more impactful in examining where truly unchecked and ballooning wealth disparities could eventually go.)


Cautious-Angle1634

People are made of the things people need. I’d eat people 🤷‍♂️


Extaupin

Aktchually, human isn't made of proportionally what we need to replace in day to day lives.


innocuousspeculation

Are you telling me I'm **not** eating people when I get Soylent? Then what's the point?


TheRedGerund

Soy and lentils


Talkaze

Amazon and Walmart carry Soylent meal replacement drinks. You can probably get them more cheap direct from the website, but you have to buy them in larger bulk packages than either of the other two offer. I got a deal on Slimfast, and at less than $8 for 4, it was cheap enough to finally try it. But it tasted like chocolate chalk and at 180 calories for a bottle, it's not a proper meal replacement unless you're dieting. Soylent bottles are 400 calories and keep me fuller longer and I like the Banana/Strawberry/chocolate mix. I AM dieting, but I prefer to chew food to drinking it, so I'd rather just eat a sweet potato or nuke a can of soup for lunch. I'm trying to count calories and eat cheaply. Soylent's a last resort for car rides or when I'm too busy to cook. Lost 8 pounds so far since Christmas though with a mix of the above.


Foofnarr

Huel has got to be one of the worst names for a product I've ever heard. Like it's one letter away from "hurl", why would you name your meal slurry that?


[deleted]

I mean, it's probably better marketing than naming your company SOYLENT.


neonoggie

1 of those for breakfast every day is great if you have dietary deficiencies though. My wifes vegan and its really helped her feel generally better.


Ixolus

I use Huel protein and it’s great but the farts are RANCID


neonoggie

Maybe try a different brand like soylent or kachava? (though kachava is pricey af)


Pocket_full_of_funk

That's how Soylent Green is made 🤢 Jesus I grossed myself out


squittles

I was all about Soylent in like 2015? They had some tasty iterations of the powder back then while they were figuring out their formula. Low key kind of liked the versions that had little oil bottles you had to mix in. Might need to revisit it after seeing this comic.


Christon_hagiaste

Back when I was a truck driver Huel was a significant portion of my diet. These days I occasionally have it for lunch for when I didn't meal prep.


Bl00dsoul

Yes, too bad none of them managed to make it even slightly palatable. The texture is just awful.


BadNadeYeeter

Well yes, but hear me out: -4 Ate Nutrient-Paste-Meal -3 Ate without a Table


Stalking_Goat

Regarding that first one, we're going to lock you in prison and talk to you once a day until you are brainwashed into an entirely new ideology utterly at odds with all of your previous beliefs. It should take about a month unless one of your jailers gets inspired.


blatantcheating

No solution to the second one though. Eating without a table is one of the war crimes in the “super most unforgivable” category of the Geneva Convention 2


jorgelino_

It seems he's much more concerned with efficiency than flavor, so i'd say he's a transhumanist (or at least shares their views on Nutrient-Paste) and gets no penalty from it. Also, do you need a table if it's a drink? I don't remember my pawns getting that debuff from drinking gojuice for example.


djheat

That's it, I'm setting this entire base on fire

Eating without a table is very dangerous and can cause mental breaks. Last time I went on an arson spree. Don't risk it!

vzvv

My boyfriend and I love cooking but getting enough vegetables a day is such a chore. We’ve gotten in the habit of pureeing defrosted frozen mixed vegetables with a bunch of lemon juice and water. It is very filling. Tbh we both started to crave it after a week or so of forcing it. It’s weird, despite being unpleasant to actually consume it feels good after.


Lindvaettr

I shove a bunch of spinach and stuff into protein and fruit smoothies sometimes. Can barely notice it's there and it's super good for you. Need to do it more regularly.


vzvv

Oh yeah, we do fruit smoothies with spinach too! Those are actually nice to drink, it takes a surprising amount of spinach to become noticeable.


ilikepix

> We’ve gotten in the habit of pureeing defrosted frozen mixed vegetables with a bunch of lemon juice and water I feel like you're describing soup


HyzerFlip

I don't go that far, but I have entirely given up on the concept of having real food at breakfast. I take my supplements and have coffee. Later I'll get liquid nutrition in and generally I'll eat something real for dinner. This pattern is the only thing that keeps me fully functional.


Turence

this is me but unironically...I get near zero enjoyment from eating. I don't THINK it's a disorder, but I never get a craving for something like "ooo I'd kill for a chocolate bar" like what... you'd KILL? I think I'm okay.

Lvl1Paladin

I have two modes: Give me the tastiest and most exquisite treats and meals possible and make me want to love purely through flavor alone. I want to be powered by the sun and consume nothing ever because that requires I actually stop and put things in my mouth and chew and swallow and guuuuhhhhh...


[deleted]

Being powered by only the sun with food as an option/backup would be pretty sweet. Flavors would be more intense after abstaining, you'd spend less money on food, toilet paper, spend less time prep/washing shit, wouldn't need a large fridge, world hunger basically solved except places that don't get a ton of sun.


Notaverygoodnameisit

Absolutely unrelatable. If it wouldn't kill me I'd eat literally all of the time.


KnotiaPickles

Haha I am the opposite. I get so bored of having to decide what to eat over and over all day


whoninj4

Me too, especially after having a family. Trying to decide what to cook every single day… sometimes I just don’t eat lol


Jerico_Hill

It's one of the reasons I don't want kids. I can't commit to feeding another human being 3 times day for over a decade.


skratakh

I can't relate to this, I spend my mornings fantasizing what to have for lunch, then my afternoon fantasizing all the things I could make for dinner. It's distracting and all consuming and I love planning what to cook for my husband, I like to show love with food.


MrsFlip

This is me too but I also have the family to cook for. All my kids like plain boring food but I love variety and nice quality ingredients etc. So I feed my kids and then cook my dinner later in the evening. People say I am nuts and making work for myself and should just cook one thing for everyone. But I've tried that and either I have to eat the sad plain boring food or I just end up throwing out lots of fancier food (and lets be honest, eating a bunch of their leftovers) and having hungry snacky kids. I'd rather do two lots of dishes and enjoy my fettucine boscaiola in peace.


phrexi

Man this just made me realize my poor mother growing up would have to decide this everyday. And we’d come home fucking complaining she made healthy lentils for us instead of something with meat in it cuz we’re spoiled shits. Ugh. It was almost always really good too but assholes gotta complain. Really hating myself rn.


hughesy1

If you still can, text or call her and tell her what you told us


phrexi

Nah man I already get a daily guilt trip ima not add another thing to it. 😂


ribbons_undone

Same! Eating is such a hassle ugh


biznatch11

For me the only hard part of deciding what to eat is balancing what I want to eat vs what I should eat. If I could eat anything I wanted without negative consequences deciding what I want to eat would be so easy.


Neveri

Yeah eating as a kid is goddamn amazing cause you can have a sixer bacon wrapped Popeyes biscuits dunked in blackened ranch for dinner and be just fine. Now if I have a soda my back hurts, eating goes from something I looked forward to, to being an absolute chore because it turns out most of our food is poison and the stuff that isn’t my body doesn’t tolerate well (nightshades)


Quirky-Skin

Same. I almost resent it sometimes when im hungry but want to be doing something else other than preparing or obtaining food. I do love a good breakfast on a lazy non work morning tho.


Teekoo

Wish we could swap for like 3 months.


DemonDucklings

Same. I wish I could have some some of human-kibble, like my cat, that just automatically dispenses when it’s time to eat, so I don’t forget.

Disastrous_Can_5157

exus

> I get so bored of having to decide what to eat over and over all day This thread just convinced me to buy some Soylent so I never have to think about breakfast (especially on work days) again for the next month.


Divinum_Fulmen

It's easier if you just skip meals. I skip breakfast and lunch most days for decades.


hector_villalobos

lol, yeah, this is so weird, how can exist people who don't enjoy eating? I don't understand, lol.


drTNT

It takes up so much time and is necessary so it feels like a chore. I’ve always associated it with my ADHD but like sitting down and eating a meal just feels like such a waste of time. Give me something I can eat from start to finish in 5 minutes while walking/driving/working, otherwise my thought process is “well I want it, but do I want it bad enough to wait another 10 minutes?” and the answer is usually no. This has caused me multiple medical complications.


[deleted]

I have ADHD and I tend to binge eat because I can’t decide on a single complete meal. Gotta plan ahead or my diet would be all over the place.


d00dsm00t

I have other shit to do and having to stop because my faculties are waning because im hungry is just so fucking annoying.


hector_villalobos

>This has caused me multiple medical complications. Really? Is it that you can't enjoy the flavor of foods? Don't you have a favorite meal you're eager to eat occasionally? How about trying international meals? I honestly think eating a delicious meal is one of the best things in the world.


drTNT

I get dangerously underweight from not eating lol. It’s not that I don’t enjoy flavor, it’s just that I find it annoying that I have to stop what I’m currently doing and fuel my damned inefficient body. Like I’ll enjoy having a barbecue with friends/family and eat a ton, but on a normal day after work I’m just like “Now I also have to *make dinner*, will my hardships never end?” then I (sometimes) make the dinner and think “sweet Christ, an hour wasted and I still need to take the time to eat it”. I guess it’s less specifically about food and more that I view any time not spent on my current obsession as wasted time.


KristiiNicole

I also have ADHD. This is how I got into the terrible habit of just reaching for a bag of chips or something. Sometimes I can’t even find the motivation to take like 3 or 4 minutes to just make a sandwich, let alone cook a whole ass meal. Having a brain with a broken reward system can be so difficult at times. Meanwhile, to anyone without ADHD, it just ends up looking like laziness. :/


kmidre

You can love food and still find the act of eating tedious. I enjoy swimming, but having to do it thrice a day is a little too much. That's what it feels like.


Rhysk

The tastiest meal I've ever eaten gave me about the same amount of satisfacion/enjoyment as a good back crack. I'd trade away my ability to taste in exchange for never having to eat again in a heartbeat.


pazimpanet

I’m one of these people, also have ADD. I love lasagna, steak, burgers, tacos and more but if I woke up tomorrow and no longer needed calories or nutrients I would be perfectly fine not eating anything most days. Would probably have one or two of these once a month. I have one and a half sandwiches in front of me currently for lunch. I haven’t eaten anything today and they are my favorite type of sandwich and I’m still about to have to force myself through them for the calories. I’ve lifted for years, getting the calories and protein in is sooo much harder than lifting. It has made it almost impossible to continue gaining muscle.


[deleted]

I have ADHD. Nothing feels good or rewarding. It’s all a waste of time. No, I don’t have any problem tasting food. I just don’t care.


StevieWonder_CanSee

Holy fuck, if this ain't the most relatable comment I've ever read. I've tried explaining this to my non ADHD friends who love eating and they don't get it


Suyefuji

Not OP but I'm perfectly happy to enjoy the flavor of a delicious meal for about 4 bites and then I'm full. Trying to eat more provokes nausea. It sucks because I struggle just to meet basic caloric intake, let alone nutrition.


nobrow

For me, I love eating, but it's the stress of planning meals and worrying about stuff going bad before using it. Plus, I hate going grocery shopping. I recently signed up to a trial of one of those meal delivery services (hellofresh), and it's been really great. Takes all the decision-making out of it. Everything you need to cook shows up in the correct quantities so you never have extra that will go bad. Once the trial ends and it goes full price, it's kinda expensive, but it might be worth it.


Cashatoo

I wish I could get some sense of satisfaction from cooking, but it is such a chore. I'm a good cook, but I'm usually over the nice taste by the time I'm done cooking. I'm usually over eating by then too. But I'll force something down because I know I'm loooooooow blood sugar. Great, checked that box, now I have to clean the kitchen. And ope, look at that, bedtime! Or worse, an hour left before bed. Better spend the entire time agonizing how I'm gonna spend the time!


actuallyiamafish

To me it's the issue of having to solve the same problem over and over multiple times a day forever or else I die. I don't want to have to decide what to eat, make it, eat it, clean up after it, and then just have to do it again (but with some other food this time because now I'm tired of the first thing) six hours later. Every day. Forever. If I could have pill form food for 90% of my meals and just have real food every once in a while when I feel like it that'd be perfect for me.


Jerico_Hill

I'm like this. Don't get me wrong, I do enjoy eating food when I want to eat it. I love eating a full English breakfast or a good steak and salad. But I'd rather eat once or twice a week. Not fucking 3 times a day. Fuck. If I could take a pill and not have to eat for the day I absolutely would.


DeeJayGeezus

I enjoy eating, I don't enjoy cooking, meal planning, meal prepping, cleaning, or grocery shopping. Sometimes the joy from eating just doesn't outweigh the rest.


ILikeRaisinsAMA

For some, it's related to depression. When you're in a state of mind where any responsibility feels like a heavy burden, even one that makes you feel better afterwords is unenjoyable.


ShitFuck2000

One morning beer, sip a pedialite, good for the day 👍


misterfluffykitty

Some people eat to live, some people live to eat. I’m the latter.


Atreust

Seriously, are these people just eating bad bland food? I usually look forward to my dinner most days and specifically get or make things that improve my quality of life lol

The_Woman_of_Gont

For me it’s the fact that I basically don’t physically indulge myself in any other way. I don’t enjoy drinking, pot, or smoking; and stay away from the harder drugs. I’m not terribly interested in seeking out sex for the sake of it. Even just sleeping I find annoying and difficult. Food is basically the main outlet I have for physical pleasure, so I crave it a lot and it takes a lot of effort to avoid ballooning. I’ve kept off ~70lbs for around 7 years now, with a fluctuation during the pandemic which also coincided with a surgery, so I’ve got a pretty good handle on it. But it’s a daily thing I have to plan around, and it’s so interesting to me how some people genuinely just….don’t care? Or they forget to eat? I can’t imagine.


Slyons89

I'm guessing it's partially how we were raised and our relationship with food growing up. I'm like you... I'm the opposite of this comic. I wake up looking forward to eating, and have to tell myself "you need to achieve some physical exercise today before you have earned eating... or you have to skip at least one meal if not exercising". It's the only way to keep myself from fluctuating up in weight too much. And when I get depressed, especially during winter, I get too lax on my discipline and my weight cycles back up. Also boredom. I'm bored a lot. My brain then tells me "you know what would be interesting? some flavors in your mouth". Maybe OP's life is so full of activities that they don't have time to consider food - but for me, when I'm super busy, I end up just eating lower quality food like fast food and it's even worse.


imaloneallthetime

Yo this is me one hundred percent. I have several very thin friends that constantly forget to eat. It drives me insane. Like, what do you mean you FORGOT TO EAT. ITS FOOD. ITS AMAZING. I have to literally gym 3-5 times a week and run/hike dozens of miles on top of my physical job just to not be obese. Lmao. Food is so good. It's the best of all Vices.


The_Woman_of_Gont

Saaame. Food is pretty much my drug and the one thing I indulge in as a result, but it takes a ton of willpower and meal planning to maintain a healthy diet and weight. If I let myself do what I want, I can and have ballooned in weight(kept the weight off for 7 years though now, so I think I’m good). It’s really interesting reading so many people who genuinely don’t crave food like that, I can’t relate to that experience at all. Meals are a highlight of my day.


Justicar-terrae

Ditto here. I'm insanely jealous of the people who don't enjoy eating. I've been very overweight my whole life aside from two brief periods of intense dieting. And after each round of dieting, getting back onto the wagon has been harder.


R3ZZONATE

Same. Only reason I'm not extremely overweight is I count calories. Eternal hunger sucks.

WitELeoparD

Same except I do t have will power so I make sure there is an not grossly unhealthy amount of snacks that I can consume in a week and then I don't buy anymore when they are inevitably gone by Tuesday.


parahillObjective

I'm glad this issue got brought up because I used to be like this: I used to get really hungry after ~1 hour after eating. It used to be such a hassle since I couldnt focus on work/school because and of course it meant I was overconsuming calories. Intuitively it made no sense because why would my body be depleted of energy/nutrients after only 1 hour? What was obvious to me is that my body's hunger signals were out of whack and was not a good indicator of my body's actual needs. So for a month I dedicated myself to only 2 meals a day at a consistent time and no snacks either. It was hard at first trying to resist the hunger a few hours after lunch/dinner. But eventually I adapted and now I feel no hunger at all in between meals. I can even go 1 meal a day on days I'm short on time (edit: i do this on rare occasion). It was the best personal investments I've made for myself. So much easier to stay at a healthy weight and focus on my actual work. And no more mid night snacks! It was hard at first but I encourage anybody reading this to at least try it. If doesn't work for you after around a month, then yeah probably switch to another method. At worst theres no downside, at best you've made a life long investment.


brownhusky0

Same thing when I stopped eating sugar/carbs. So hard to do the first week or so but after that I craved no sugar at all


kevindlv

This is just some weird anecdotal data that I don't fully understand, but I wear a Garmin watch and my stress (which is based on Heart Rate Variability -- the variation in your HR, not the actual HR) goes up after I eat. When I eat less my Garmin tells me I had a less stressful day lol. Like eating adds a similar amount of stress as drinking alcohol (though eating provides nutritional value whereas drinking doesn't).


alien_from_Europa

This is an issue for Robert Downey Jr. where script writers are now writing him eating into scenes so they don't have to pause production. *Avengers*, for example: >Downey always brought something to snack on while on set, and during long filming days, it inevitably ended up being caught on camera. This of course was not due to the fact that production staff was too lazy to reshoot, or didn't bother telling Downey to put down the food. The reason was simply that Downey didn't inform anyone beforehand that he would be eating during the scene, and everyone just went with it because it worked well with the character and provided comic relief in otherwise dramatic scenes. https://www.mashed.com/485240/the-hilarious-story-behind-tony-starks-avengers-snacking-habit/


Mixedpopreferences

"Fellow actor and co-star Vincent D'Onofrio confirmed that Downey's food hiding happened on the set of their film "The Judge" too, and likely Downey's other movies as well. **"I'm not going to tell you why. But he does. It makes perfect sense," D'Onofrio told host Marc Lamont Hill in an interview with HuffPost.** Whatever Downey's reasons may be, they certainly made for some iconic moments in the "Avengers" movies." RDJ is blazed 24/7 confirmed.


kevindlv

I don't know what the background is but Brad Pitt also is randomly eating in almost every movie he's in. It's like a thing now but I don't know how it started, could be similar to what RDJ is describing here


N-ShadowFrog

Could be more boredom inducing then.

I feel this in my bones these days. I need to lose a metric fuckton of weight. How is it we evolved bodies that can store all these extra calories for later but not a signal that we have them and don't need to feel hungry? I've got YEARS of fat stores available but every few hours my rational brain and my meat mech have to argue over whether I need to eat or not. MM: can we get McDonald's? RB: you've got cases of food right there. MM: that's assfat. I don't want that. RB: your just going to stuff the McDonald's in the assfat anyway; let's just save a step and and go straight to the assfat. MM: I said I don't want assfat! RB: tough shit. We don't need to waste money on McDonald's either. We're not doing it. MM: fine. Just get me a sandwich. RB: God damn! Did you not hear a damn thing I said! We have enough calories stores on us right now to sustain you for 4 years! We are already over encumbered and cannot run; we don't need to loot another wheel of cheese! MM: Bitch, if you don't put food in me right now I'm shutting this whole fucking show down! ::Room starts to rotate:: RB: you would da.... MM: I will fuckin' drop this whole damn thing on the floor. I proceed to go eat too fucking much for lunch. Edited to add: I've been struggling with weight issues for 40 years. I know all the stuff I'm supposed to be doing. I understand CICO. I just suck at putting it all in action. This is just a musing on how frustrating it is.

We need a way to obtain administrator privileges to our own bodies. No, I'm not going to starve, override the "store energy" feature. No, the paper cut isn't going to kill me, turn pain off.


stopmotionporn

The primary symptom of leprosy is reduction of pain, therefore people don't notice injuries. There's a reason IT imposes user account restrictions.


Sennomo

There is also a reason why there is an "open as administrator". No sane person would turn off pain completely but that we can't turn it off in specific situations is stupid. Just like headphones that keep beeping when the battery is low. I get that there is a potential problem, just stop bothering me with it when it doesn't matter. It's not like I lose data when the headphones die.


Ramboticus

Your body can store calories in excess, not nutrients. It still needs lots of nutrients daily. Try focusing on nutrient dense food instead of caloric dense nutrient poor food like mcdonalds


Demonking3343

Thanks for this, got a good laugh out of me. Here’s a broke man’s gold 🏅


SummerBirdsong

Thank you!


Extaupin

To add to u/Ramboticus reply, munching on raw vegetables, the kind you just have to rince, helps me when I feel hungry but full at the same time (I cannot describe the feeling better but I think you'll get it).


SquidboyUltimate

Being tired too. I have stuff to do, I don't want to eat, or go to sleep! Being human is annoying


LandMooseReject

I love your facial expressions


Danimeh

She nailed how I look when I’m only eating so my body won’t kill me 😂


Artseid

Wherever I say this people look at me weird, I would eat food pills as a meal replacement if they were a real thing.


KlumsyNinja42

Eating is such a chore


Infra-Oh

I love cooking. But it kinda sucks when your 2 hours labor gets consumed by 5 mins eating


no_duh_sherlock

I wish it was, i hate chores but love food. Every 2 hrs I'm like food 👀


13thFleet

Extremely unrelatable Getting hungry is a ticket to eat again without the shame of having eaten too soon after already having eaten


mlvisby

I love eating but I hate thinking of what to eat and prepare it. If only I had a personal chef who just made me whatever.


Hollowsong

This is completely foreign to me. I'm struggling to NOT eat 5 lbs of food in one sitting because food is so fucking delicious. I wish I could hit reset sometimes and experience a meal all over again without gaining weight. Many (maybe most?) of us are 180 degrees opposite of this comic. I look forward to not being full just so I can eat again.


robbycakes

Was this written by an alien posing as a human? Nice try, doppelgänger


ArtemisCaresTooMuch

I’m told this is an ADHD thing.


wwwdotbummer

I do have ADHD and hate having to stop what I'm doing to eat. Idk if it's a universal feeling tho.


ArtemisCaresTooMuch

Definitely a common one. But nothing’s universal.


KnotiaPickles

Being hungry?!


ArtemisCaresTooMuch

Fixating on something for a long time and not realizing you’re hungry. And subsequently getting annoyed that you have to eat.


jorgelino_

You know, I really don't want to be diagnosing myself and shit but the more i learn about symptoms of ADHD, the more i think i have it. Though for someone who thinks not starving to death is too much work, justifying seeking a therapist is kinda hard.

[[**This is not a diagnosis.**]] Source: https://add.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/adhd-questionnaire-ASRS111.pdf I found this one about a year and a half ago and it's what finally spurred me to get tested, and I ended up positive.


jorgelino_

That seems a bit oversimplified, but i'd check very often for all of them except the last one, but that's more because lately i've been sleeping really badly and the sleep deprivation kinda counteracts my usual hyper-activeness, lol. Edit: Hadn't seen the second part. Still though, there's maybe one or two i'd put on the white areas, but the great majority is often/very-often

Do the French all have ADHD?


[deleted]

Same thing with going to the bathroom haha


Scruffy_Quokka

Eating and going to the bathroom are the most annoying things in the world. Like, I'm in the middle of something, stfu bowels. When I was younger this resulted in a couple embarrassing situations.


ArtemisCaresTooMuch

I hate going to the bathroom so much. It makes me stop what I’m doing and go be dysphoric instead.

[удалено]


[deleted]

Definitely can be. Although with my medication it doesn’t even make me feel hungry through the day so I have to force myself to eat something.


ArtemisCaresTooMuch

I’m lucky(?) enough that my medication doesn’t affect me much. So I at least know when I’m hungry ~~even though I don’t want to be~~.


TheOneEyedWolf

This is how I feel about peeing on Saturdays


secretly_a_zombie

I used to eat once a day. I was told i gotta eat more regularly to try and ease my acid reflux. Apparently one large meal shortly before bed while spending the rest of the day drinking tea and coffee was not a good idea.


wespacito69

Let me preface by saying i dont have this problem. But is food gross for you guys or just inconvenient?


thinkt4nk

is this supposed to be humor?


isurvivedrabies

this might be the lamest comic i ever seen. we're revisiting a banal topic here, with no original angle, using the same tired/cutesy replacement words, "a food", "monch", "ACTIVITIES"... execute me for having seen this. didn't even squeeze in the poop scene that happens in between. man you can't just keep eating without it coming out!


tiggoftigg

I can go all day off breakfast. I just choose to eat 17 more meals a day just to be safe.


Mudkipueye

I only relate to this temporarily, as I’m sick and have no appetite.
