I advocated for banning them because they’re polluting, unhealthy, and 500000 years of human history shows we don’t need them. That you insist we DO need them is probably false.
I’ll take your personal argument for why YOU use them - they’re easy and convenient - but it doesn’t justify their continued existence, any more than than the truth that “safely disposing of dangerous chemicals is expensive and inconvenient” justifies dumping them into lakes and rivers
Ok, all you needed to say was “i hate cooking”
Sure, but you could instead make a giant pan of e.g. spag bol one evening, put in individual tupperware tubs and freeze them. Then bring into work as an when. Saves umpteen trips to the shops.
I don’t mean to deride them in every circumstance - I probably buy them 3 or 4 times a year when I haven’t been able to shop/cook for some reason. But if they weren’t available, that would probably be better for consumers and the environment. A tin of soup is much easier to recycle
Ready meals are unhealthy, not hugely tasty, and more expensive than making it yourself.
Could someone explain the joke to me?
