it's.... food. they're just describing food. ground beef, rice and egg done in large batches for meal prep. that's just.... cooking food, like normal humans do. like a casserole is not a food hack, it's just... cooking.

i wonder if this is a sidelong glance at trying to shame younger men back into eating out all the time since so many are stopping because it's not affordable or even remotely worth it.

Eating manly food is a low-status signal to them. They want you eating eggplant parm and side salads
