There are a million ways to spend an hour a day on something to improve your startup.
The habit of cooking your own healthy meals is a fine way to improve your productivity in just an hour or two a day plus saturday mornings at the farmer's market. The problem is the hour or two a day, not the cost. There are a million ways to spend an hour a day on something to improve your startup.
Maybe. Personally, I know if I'm going to block off time to do a certain thing (such as cooking a new recipe then I work more efficiently.
Not to mention it's entirely possible to make one large batch of something that could feed you for a couple meals.
I totally agree with the argument. I totally disagree with the cost estimates. Unless you're actually going to the grocery store every day (and you need to incorporate that into the amount of time involved), vegetables go bad. For example, the amount of cilantro they sell at the grocery store is for a dozen servings of this meal. I just finished throwing out pretty well every ingredient (except the chicken) given in…
Is pizza that bad? I home cook all pizza ($1-$2 per pizza), and it doesn't seem too bad if you look at the ingredients. Pizza + salad seems perfectly healthy. Flour + tomato + cheese + onion + garlic + olive oil + whatever you put on your pizza.
I'd be all for preparing the meal he suggests, but with shopping, prep, cooking, and cleanup it's a significant time investment compared to pizza so I'd like evidence it's doing my startup better.
I would through in some red meat too for the protein
I agree with you and all, and am working hard on eating healthy myself, but do you have any idea how much ramen $7 can buy you?
I'm certain there are people out there who would have trouble affording $4-7 per meal & funding the early stages of a company. And don't forget you have to own the facilities to cook properly- ramen can be made in a paper bowl with a $5 water heater or $20 microwave.

Yes, it does, but you can get a lot more mileage out of it by preparing in large batches and freezing most of it.
