Why is eating out so stigmatized?

[Noriega]

Old heads at my job always make comments like “You need to start packing a lunch”, “start buying sandwich making items”. Be wanting to tell them nikkas mind they own but

I did construction for 3 years and that’s all I ate. Weak ass sandwiches, soup, granola bars, oatmeal etc. I work in offices downtown now so I’m around good ass food everyday so of course ima cash out on shyt.

It’s not like I’m buying McDonald’s or Burger King everyday

Because it's expensive and adds up to hundreds of dollars a month.

Eating out for lunch every day at work is expensive and if you're eating unhealthy it will eventually take a toll on you. If those aren't issues for you then don't pay attention to what your coworkers think.

Didn't op just make a thread asking why absentee parents are stigmatized?

I LOVE EATING OUT ESPECIALLY AMBER ROSE'S ROAST BEEF (ARBYS)!!!!

I get salads, wraps, flatbreads etc

I don’t eat red meat of any kind. No pop or sugary drinks no coffee

Let's be generous and say that you spend $5 on breakfast and $5 on lunch for a 5 day workweek so $10 a day.

$10 X 5 = $50 a week

$10 X 20 days a month = $200

$2400 a year in one off meals

That's just a round number but basically you could make your own lunch for about a third of the price. I don't know what your finances look like but do whatever makes you feel good.

Edit: Numbers were off but fixed now, already quoted a bunch of times so

Okay well good for you nikka but most people who eat out every day for lunch don’t order food like that and you know it.

A lot of people don't even have $500 in emergency funds, yet eat out multiple times per week.

Because clowns can't afford to do it

If you dont love cooking you you may as well eat out, if you can afford it.

You can easily rack up a grand a month if you aren't culturally effected by your eating out habits

nikka just eat your food and carry your ass on somewhere

 

[Antwon Mitchell]

I eat a plain garden salad every weekday for lunch, along with an orange, & a bottled water. Last time I ate out during lunch I got sick by the time work was over, winded up laying down once I got home.

It hurts your pockets over time, that's why.

Also, you are eating food cooked by people you don't know. It's not a judgment because I do it, too.

But when you really think.about it, it is weird we willingly eat food cooked by a complete stranger because we are reliant on "health standards" to protect us or govern those preparing the food. We may not be as lax in other areas our lives, but we may be when it comes to what we consume.

At the end of that day, though, how can you go wrong making your own food?

$10 X 5 = $50 a week

$50 X 20 = $1000 a month

$12,000 a year in one off meals

when did a month get 20 weeks??

 

[King Khufu]

Because most girls have beat up flowers so no dude wants to eat that out

*Actually reads topic*

Oh, because McDonald's is garbage.
