And using your own private bathroom.

Forgot about that, it's wonderful to be able to use my own bathroom instead of thinking about which co-workers sat on the toilet before me or did they have a contagious disease, etc.

Access to kitchen is golden. You can steam, stir fry, use conventional oven, all great options to a healthy meal.

My house has a microwave, and I get good use of it!

Microwaving cooks food without generating as much carcinogenic char as other methods, so it can actually be healthier.

Relatedly, freezing is the healthiest way to preserve and transport fruits and vegetables. It also allows them to be harvested when naturally ripe, rather than artificially ripened.

Alternatively, use something like https://www.pantelligent.com/ (disclosure: co-founder / engineer) so you can control cooking temperatures. This lets you get delicious browning without the non-tasty and non-healthy burnt "char" bits.

Call me when a microwave can create the tasty maillard reaction that's needed for so many foods.

There's this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Convection_microwave , but I'd rather stick to flavoring my food in some way other than generating a bunch of carcinogens like acrylamide.

Since the microwave is often used for reheating food that was cooked with these other methods, there's often no advantage.

Sure, and it's often used to heat up things like Hot Pockets. For this reason and scary radiation, the microwave is heaped with undeserved disrepute. This is unfortunate for another big reason: it's one of the most convenient ways for a single person to cook a small amount of healthy food. Many people are under the impression that healthy cooking requires warming up the stove/oven and dirtying pans, so they give up and eat processed food.

There ought to be more awareness of recipes for the microwave. Many restaurants are using them to good effect.

My point was that if I fry or BBQ something and then later reheat it in the microwave, the damage was already done, so the fact that the microwave is safe does me no good. I agree that the microwave is a cleaner way to cook vegetables, for example.
