IDK man, even your rocket scientist probably has hobbies and other shit besides rocket science that they like doing but are kinda bad to good at, which leads to a lot more fulfilling of a life than only being really really good at rocket science. Which is the whole point of the comic.

Alternate take: this meme is expired, because all of the foods on that plate are only bland if prepared by a bad cook.

Toast with butter is a delight. It's not gonna knock your socks off with complexity, but good bread with good butter shouldn't be bland. Heck, good bread by itself shouldn't be bland. Same with fried fish - a nice juicy piece of flaky white fish fried in a properly-seasoned batter is an absolute delight, not bland at all unless you're using bottom of the barrel ingredients and don't know what you're doing. And canned beans are absolutely loaded with spices, salt, and acidity, they're probably the most complex thing on that plate.

There's trace amounts of blood in meat. They drain out a huge majority at the slaughterhouse, but it's nearly impossible to get out every drop. If there's a lot of blood in your meat though, something probably went wrong at the slaughterhouse.

Some cuisines feature actual blood as an ingredient though - blood sausages from the UK contain actual significant amounts of added blood, cubes of solidified pork blood "tofu" are considered a delicacy in some places in China - I think it's safe to say people that enjoy those kinds of foods can be said to eat blood. But I don't think people that eat meat can be said to eat blood, for the same reason that you wouldn't say someone that drinks tap water drinks mercury.

And thank you for trying to disingenuously conflate myoglobin and hemoglobin in an attempt to get people to think they're eating blood when they eat meat. Glad I could correct you.

Meat is red because of myoglobin, a protein found in mammalian muscle tissue that turns red when exposed to oxygen.

Myoglobin is different from hemoglobin though, which is the stuff in blood. Most of the time, your meat only has a tiny amount of hemoglobin in it by the time it gets to your table.

Bread is probably the least time consuming thing on that list though. There's a whole slew of no-knead recipes out there, and it takes about 5 minutes to measure out and mix together the ingredients. After that it's just waiting for it to rise, another 5 minutes to shape the loaf, proof it, toss it in the oven and wait till it's done. For 10 minutes of active prep time, you can have a nice loaf of crusty white bread that's nearly as good as something you'd find in some bougie bakery. Granted it takes a couple seconds of pre-planning since the rise/proofing times are long, but most basic no-knead recipes are super forgiving on that, and if something comes up before you're able to bake it, you can toss your uncooked dough into the fridge for short term storage, or freeze it for long term.

There's a variety of lunches that are cheap and insanely easy though:

• Stir fry with leftover rice, an egg, and some frozen veggies
• Sandwich with a piece of fruit or some veggies
• Leftover soup heated up on the stove (or in the microwave if ya nasty)
• Cold pasta dishes like pasta salad with leftover protein thrown on top
• Charcuterie plate with cold cuts, crackers, cheeses, and jams
• Salad with cold leftover proteins
• Leftover fried chicken straight out the fridge, as God intended

Like sure, some of these things rely on having leftovers laying around to dress up a bit, but I think that's a reasonable thing to expect of most people.

Thanks for the explanation, that makes sense. I've never though of the concept of "adopt don't shop" being a "vegan friendly" option for pet ownership, I've just always thought it was an obvious choice, but I get the connection now.

What does adopting vs. buying from a breeder have to do with this person's point?
