DoorDash has, for many people, become a substitute for frozen meals, despite being less convenient and radically more expensive. And a lot of frozen meals taste fine, plenty of chain restaurants are actually serving that.

The replies to this tweet, which puts the bar as low as possible (frozen foods), somehow receives gratuitous pushback. Examples:

One pot pie is 600 calories

Unless it's like Stouffer's or hungry man frozen dinners, McDonald's is much worse than any frozen option.

This one is the funniest to me. Somehow this person is distressed by the prospect of taking a meal out of the freezer and into the microwave.

Normalize institutionalizing these people and whipping them in shape

If you can't cook not only do you deserve to be poor, you are destined for it anyways.

Cooking is a core skill everyone needs to know. Everyone should have the ability to host a dinner party with a home cooked entree, a few sides, and a dessert

Dessert is hella easy, and lowkey higher value to make at home than buy compared to most other things. Pastries markup is like 4-8x what it costs to make at home, and are loaded with sugars and preservatives.
Learn to make stuff sweet breads or pies, and you can eat half the calories for better desserts.

I just bake muffins and do an artful swirl of yogurt
or jam thru a squeeze bottle 
dashed with cinnamon or nutmeg to wow people. 
Muffins are far easier than people believe.

Not only this the shit they sell you in stores have higher sugar than "ideal" because they are trying to cater to the common tongue which loves sweets.
For example French Meringue is supposed to be 2 parts sugar to 1 part egg white however the store bought Meringues you can buy are almost 3 parts sugar to 1 part egg white because that's what leads to "optimal" sales, customer's health be darned.

You don't even need to be a good cook either. You can be mediocre and most shit will still taste about the same/better as frozen food.

You literally just need to put pasta in water, chop an onion and add mince in a pan to do the literal bare minimum for cooking dinner
Literally three steps, and you can browse your phone while it cooks. Add some canned tomatoes in half way and it's a full meal.

For me I make it even faster, I put water into a pasta sauce, chop vegis into the warming pasta water and then throw the pasta in whenever so it's cooked at the softness I want.

Costco sells a 3 pound jar of minced garlic for like $8 and i throw a spoonful in the pan of pretty much everything I cook. Knowing the most basic cooking skills will save you money and have you eating great meals.
This is the same crowd that will lynch someone who gives them good advice like stop staying up all night watching porn and smoking weed

Cooking isn't even that time consuming to begin with depending on what you do. Sometimes I just make rice with a rice cooker, heat up the oven, put some seasoned fish or other meat on a tray. Slice some vegetables of any kind, toss with salt pepper and olive oil, spread them on same tray, put tray in oven and set a timer. This takes literally 10 minutes to do, although you have to wait for half an hour for it to be done.

Cooking is time intensive for rich people. Poor people's time is worth $7.25 so they better be making that shit by hand.
