Why does eating a frozen ready meal alone feel depressing even tho it's objectively good that I can have nice warm food easily - eviltoast

    I’d say a contributing factor could be tv/films. It’s very common to see the divorced/dumped/bereaved/generally lonely people heating up frozen food and pushing some meat puck around with a fork, feeling pretty close to ending it all… it’s just dumb social commentary but I think it shares some blame for the “universal view” of one person heating up a frozen dish being kind of pathetic

      I still remember a Ben Elton skit where he mentions 'Findus - Meals for one. Lonely Bastard range."

      From memory you were to get two so the checkout person thought you had company.
