Why Cooking is Overrated (and Why Sending a Meal is Pure Genius)

Remember when humans cooked meals at home every night? Yeah, neither do we. Between work, kids, and binge-watching shows you swore you’d “only watch one episode of,” the idea of chopping onions feels more like a punishment than a privilege.

The Harsh Truth About Home Cooking

• Step 1: Buy $87 worth of ingredients for one recipe you found online.
• Step 2: Use half an onion and three spoonfuls of broth.
• Step 3: Watch the rest of those ingredients rot in the fridge like a forgotten science project.

If we’re being honest, cooking at home is basically meal-prep cosplay. You put in tons of work for a mediocre result—when you could’ve just opened your door to chef-prepared meals delivered straight to you.

Why Sending a Meal is a Power Move

Here’s the thing: sending a meal isn’t just convenient—it’s an instant hero move. Send dinner to a new parent? You’re now a saint. Send a “sorry I ghosted your birthday” dinner? Redemption unlocked. Even better? Send one to yourself. Why wait for special occasions when you could enjoy prepared meal delivery tonight?

Top Situations Where Sending a Meal Saves the Day

1. Housewarming: Because nothing says “Congrats on your new place!” like food that doesn’t involve assembling IKEA furniture first.
2. Get Well Soon: Soup delivered > Soup you have to cook while sick.
3. Birthday Surprise: Cake is great. Cake with dinner already handled? Legendary.
4. Busy Weeknights: When your “quick pasta” turns into “emergency pizza delivery.”

The Smarter Choice

Here’s the real takeaway: you could spend your night cleaning pots and pans… or you could spend it enjoying a chef-prepared dinner delivered to your door. One option feels like adulting. The other feels like winning.
