I wish I could just take one pill a day (or three) for nutrition (and satiating hunger) and not have to eat meals at all. That would be amazing, not to have to deal with food. Buying, preparing, ordering, over eating.

The preface is ridiculous. Salads, PBJs, Ramen, rice and veggies, english muffins / rice cakes and PB/nutella. I'm not sure why this is a thing.
It exists because there are people who weren't fortunate enough to have parents that taught how to cook.
It can be a challenge to get a varied diet, when you only have spare change and lack the skills & knowledge that many take for granted.
You sound like you lack some ability to empathize with other people's struggles in life - and that you are blind to the privileges you've had in your own life.
Not everyone has access to the same resources & knowledge that you have.
I know how to cook, but have been dirt-poor in periods of my life. A book like this one (with 50 recipes that cost less than $10) helped me get through those times without having to eat the same 2-3 dishes for months.

Fasting is actually easier than you think once you get over the initial hunger humps.
Obviously seek proper medical advice first but just to point out that it's possible and I've personally done up to five day fasts while still working and going to gym as normal.
Reminds me of a non satire student cookbook where recipes are sectioned by what utensils and cooking appliances you have at hand. E.g. one pot, frying pan, etc. all the way up to, well a normal kitchen.
Can I easily read this on an iPhone somehow? The download does not seem to start, I just get the ad page instead

There are quite a few companies that deals with this, usually in the form of a shake rather than a pill. I think Soylent was the name of one of the early entrants.

It's extremely convenient.
Would work better as a webpage with clickable ToC. I'm not gonna print out a 146 page doc with such recipes as boxed mac and cheese.

As a student myself I’d appreciate all those recipe sites to have a filter by appliances. Seems half of recipes involving meat requires a stove I don’t have.
Perhaps a single burner induction cooktop is in your budget, which you can use to brown/fry meat.
