As someone who ate almost all their meals at work I can sympathize. Lots of ordering food, lots of making small manageable meals on the clock. I could justify it because I was making money, and when I was home I was usually too tired to cook anything complicated. Eating every meal in your house is definitely different, and the added financial strain means getting more food for your dollar, which usually translates to more work.

Working in a place that sold food, I would simply buy and eat there. Now I don’t feel safe eating in the break room with three other jerks. I come with prepared food that I leave and eat in my car.

Thanks, I initially thought of 1, 2 and 4 but not 3, so I won’t post my snarky comment about people that constantly order food instead of cooking good homemade food with a lower carbon footprint. I will plug !food@hexbear.net, though.

-Normally works late shifts and eats at the work cafeteria for lunch&dinner

I used to work 60 to 80 hour weeks, which meant that I’d leave work just in time for all the eateries in the area to close. That basically forced me to eat shitty fast food most days since I was too wiped out to cook.

i never eat out either, and the main thing that changed is how often i shopped. I live within walking distance of several markets, so I would go short shopping a few days a week for fresher stuff and because i don’t have a car so i literally can’t get a lot of groceries at one time.

with pandemic i finally caved and bought a granny cart so i could walk and get groceries just once a week (early on it was every 2 weeks).

because of this, i can sorta see how ‘storage’ becomes an issue.
