#133I 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.
You will miss a lot of sensory sensations with that. You may treat your body as a brain-riding bipedal machine, but it is not a healthy approach.
For some people that’s insanity, and for others that’s normal.
I just don’t care about food, I see it as a waste of time and effort. The less time spent preparing, eating and cleaning up the better.
I understand that chewing is good for your health, which is why I eat solid food a fair bit, but otherwise I wouldn’t care, honestly.

Aglio e Olio - Literally takes 4 ingredients, and (Italians will hate me for this) can be spruced up easily with other stuff available in your pantry, be it chopped up chinese sausages, peppers, olives, shrimp, or leafy greens. Moroccan Shakshuka - Eggs, Tomatoes, Peppers, Spices - Slowcook and lap up with a nice piece of bread. What's not to like? Again, very easy to spruce up to ensure you don't feel like you're ea…

Then guilt trip others to donate to you money and their inheritance and end up filthy rich... Still doing the same... Kinda weird end result... Who did profit anyway, apart from upper management.
You might be confusing "monastery" with "church." EDIT: damn, I stand corrected!

We meal plan every week, but when I'm feeling less bothered I lean on a few dishes. They're not quite as simple as pasta plus jarred sauce, but from practice I can go from knife to table in 30 minutes, with basically no dishes.

These links are paywalled, "This is a subscriber-only recipe." For curious folks, the URL says they are one-pan orzo with spinach and feta, and vegetarian mushroom shawarma pitas.

These are close enough copies.

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.
Most of those seem to be US based, but there's a European company https://jimmyjoy.com as well.

I got through a kilo of kimchi a week this way when I was a depressed 20-something living in a share-house abroad.

#140Bit too (cheap) carb rich for my liking. What is with eating so many carbs, is this book a recipe for prediabetes or a psychotherapy phishing session? And because of forced eating during childhood, this just brings back trauma masquerading as food dislikes. 3 square meals can be bad for your health.
Someone who thinks about how carb-rich a meal is isn't the target audience for a book like this.
