All of us have slightly different preferences when it comes to what we want to eat, and the best way to cater to those is to get in the kitchen and make something ourselves (or get a trusted loved one or talented professional to do it for us). It takes time and patience to learn how to cook the kind of things that we will happily consume, but the rewards are more than worth it once this handy life skill has been acquired.

As if that wasn't enough, it also makes a person much more well-equipped to enjoy the relatable chaos of cooking memes. They make a hearty meal out of the humor that comes from preparing food, celebrating cuisine successes as well as horrors that no self-respecting individual would ever eat. Just like with our diets, it is the balance that produces the best and most sustainable long-term outcome.
