      He mentioned quantity of food, I mentioned quality.

      You don’t have to eat less if you’re eating food that is overpriced or using scam services like doordash. Just buy more-affordable food and cook your own meals.

      But some people think they’re “too good” for that and try to conflate needs with wants. I assume you’re one of them but won’t admit it.

            What else am I “probably?” I mean actually asking me would be a waste of time- and don’t do it now, it’s too late.

                Your evidence-free case made by just guessing about someone based on two very short replies on an internet forum? I’m glad you’re resting it because you’re making yourself sound like a fool.

                  You’re right, my bad. You’re not one of the people who conflates needs with wants.

                  You’re also not flustered because I called it out.

                  Sorry.

                    I am not, in fact, flustered.

                    Believe it or not, saying there is a middle ground between eating nothing but peanut butter sandwiches and ordering DoorDash- which is the post I responded to- does not make me conflate needs with wants.

                    Although I admit that you don’t need to eat anything but beans and vegetables. That doesn’t mean I think anyone deserves to live on nothing but beans and vegetables. That’s a miserable way to live. Do you think people deserve to live that way?
