Would you never eat again if you could

[(In)CelibatePsycho]

If you had the option to never eat again (but you magically get all the nutrients you would have gotten if you did eat), would you take it?

I would because eating is really time consuming. Not only does eating itself take like an hour a day, but when you account for time spend buying groceries, cooking, and washing dishes, it’s a real time drain. Not to mention it’s super expensive - food and cooking equipment aren’t cheap. Plus food is bad for your teeth

I'd skip it for days or weeks but yeah I'd probably still eat for fun if I had a good idea for something really nice to eat.

You have to choose to either never eat again or to live normally without any free magic nutrients. You don’t get to have both, that’s cheating

You can still cook you just aren’t allowed to eat or taste anything you make

I'd feel miserable wtf it_hurts

I think there's cultural reasons behind it though.
I remember some finns coming here in france for their missionary education. They could not understand how we could spend an entire christmas at table, eating and talking together for hours on end.

Like eating and dining has become in french culture the main event to socialize and talk together, and that's the reason why french people don't eat much at breakfast but a lot more at dinner time and souper lunch, because we have more time to eat and talk.

Apparently we spend 2 hours and 13 minutes per day at the table, on average.

It's Official: This European Country Spends Twice As Long Eating As Americans

New research shows that French people spend the longest time eating per day than any other country twice as long as Americans.

But also like wtf eating good food is just the best, cooking and then eating delicious food is one of those things that brightens my day tbh

Aren't you German or whatever

Half-german, my mother decided to migrate to Paris for studies, where she met my father, who's only half french himself, half italian.
Europe is a mess.

Happy I was born in france doe german culture is weird and their food sucks imo, apart from like the bavarian cuisine which has some great sausages, beer and sauerkraut.

But even there I wouldn't chose not to eat again, like you're depriving yourself of one of the most fun essential activities of the human being besides sleeping

German food is ass but the pastries are good THOUGH

Prefer french pastries personally, but they're hell to make so if I had to bake some myself, yeah german pastry is better, 100%

 

[Nihilma]

The Christstollen for example, very easy to make, and very good.

In comparison, macarons take literally hours to make, for small bites, but damn is it good.

[manmoder]

so i wouldnt be able to control my weight? can i choose what amount of different nutrients i want?
if so id take it

 

[ArmaLite]

eating is a chore to me so yeah
already have a BMI of 17

[Aedra]

I'm not Ethiopian

Even doe Ethiopian cuisine is pretty rich.

Anyway, to answer the question : no. Life without good food takes a lot of the fun out of it. I'd respect a person who can abstain from such things though (as in, constant fasting like the Poor Clare Nuns or something), it would take a lot of willpower.
