Would you rather cook or do delivery/take-out/eating out? *money and nutrition aside*

Well, sure, this is a reason to cook. But I understand this question as meaning that you can assume that whatever you order or eat out is perfectly nutritious (and free).

Yeah I decided to ignore that part because that question didn't interest me.

Money, nutrition, availability--those things are never "aside," they are always operative! Why reduce the question to a level faux-simplicity that actually makes it way less interesting and also turns it into a complete hypothetical?

I blame philosophy majors.

It shouldn't have been part of the question b/c like someone pointed out, it makes it too "would you cease to exist."

I'm pretty surprised so many people voted for cooking.

Fixed my own food tonight: franks 'n' beans w/ sweet corn niblets mixed in and a side of Jingos. But I still "cooked" for about 45 minutes, prepping stuff for later meals. Meh.

To each his own. There's no accounting for taste. Different strokes for different folks. And so on and so forth.

If I had the ability to conjure any food in any setting at will - tied to some deep subconscious understanding where it would always be the most perfect possible thing for that exact moment, like a dinner at El Bulli or a hot dog off the grill in my back yard - with no health or money repercussions, I still think I would cook at least a couple of times a week. I honestly like it as an activity that much.

Nothing against anyone who thinks that's crazy, obviously, as everyone loves some chore they enjoy that someone else hates.

I'd have cooking down as a hobby, I think.

They're a new snack food craze that is sweeping the country!!!!! They're smallish wavy shaped crackers w/ flavors.

one year passes...

wish there were more places where you could get delivery for a small amount of food at a small price point, instead of having to order a bunch of food you don't really want. RIP kozmo.com; there was no way you were ever going to make any money but you identified a need in the marketplace and filled it very well.
