I can understand the money tradeoff (your time is worth more than your money, ergo you do not cook), but I'm curious how you handle the health tradeoff? Do you eat lots of prepared foods or restaurant foods, or just lots of raw stuff?

I don't think I share the general view on "healthy" food. If I am getting correct macros and vitamins and not gaining weight I consider myself fine. I found evidence on other claims scarce. I think obsession with healthy eating is a fad and tbh I grew up in another country and the food was often much worse there despite much of it being prepared by hand, because there just wasn't enough of it or enough of nutritious food (i.e., something like /oranges/ cause for a celebration).

A mix of the three. I'm more likely to eat raw kale than cook it in something. I like things like canned chickpeas. I sometimes boil things or cook simple items like scrambled eggs.
