May I ask why you’re working two jobs? Is it the high rent or something? 🤔

Might be the $25 per meal

One job for the avocado and one for the toast.

In a sane world people would be allowed time to prepare food for themselves, sorry it’s like that

I think the saner option would be communal food preparation, but like with real human food and not the capitalist slop that is fast food. A lot of people don’t want to, or don’t have the energy for cooking. It’s pretty time consuming and energy intensive, even when you have the time for it. For most of human history communal food prep was the norm.
When I was at school at a fairly large university I ate at the cafeterias and literally I never ate better and more healthy in my life than when I was there. The food was just normal food, and it was always available and high quality. I feel like cafeterias like it should be possible all over the place, sure it was a well funded school but I don’t really see why they shouldn’t be possible. I dream of returning to school often for that reason, as well as the walkable layout and close knit community.

University meal plan costs are pretty high from what I remember. Sure it’s possible, but you need the facilities, you need the people making food for you and cleaning up after. There’s reasons making your own meals from stuff you buy at the grocery store can be a fraction of the cost.

When I was in college me and six friends had a dinner coop going where one person would cook a meal each night of the week (the dorms had kitchens). It worked great except for the one girl that would make things like bulgar wheat - like, just a big bowl of boiled bulgar wheat and nothing else. We made sure her night was Thursday, since the tavern in town had all-you-can-eat spaghetti for $1 on Thursdays.

Two of my former coworkers live next to each other. Both are married, but one has a wife who stays home to raise their kids (couple #1), while the other has a working wife (couple #2) and their kids are older. #2 buys groceries for both couples, and #1 cooks the dinners for both couples.
Seems like something like this arrangement could work for others. Free food in exchange for cooked meals.
