    I’ve “grown up” and cook my own food, rarely eat microwave ready meals, and have even incorporated much more salad and vegetables into my diet to the point that some nights a salad with grilled chicken is dinner.

    The chocolate milk stays, forever.

      Same here. I get shit for buying chocolate juice boxes from time to time. They don’t know what little bit of joy they’re missing in their life, those fools!

    The one friend may be autistic and suffer food related overstimulation. This plate feels very no stress safe.

    This is not a joke, its a lesser known but very common thing among us.

      I was gonna say the same thing. Everything on this plate is extremely common in restrictive autism diets. Its just missing french fries.

      EDIT: This meme kind of explains it perfectly (and it applies to adults too):

        You would not believe the cosmic timing of how i find myself while reading this.

        Id definitly label it sensory unpleasant but i would argue it cannot be compared.

        The experience of both is one all humans will experience many times starting from childhood. Its a bad thing but its one you know, The experience is predictable and often the same as other times.

        The experience of food is much more diverse and thus unpredictable. We all have experienced eating a “trusted” dish made somewhere else to find ourselves betrayed by “different brand”, “extra ingredient” or “chopped in unusual sizes”

        Hyperbole aside (autistic adults may learn to get used to some of those suprises or mask their way trough), the exact sensory experiences are unique to each individual and many autistic people will chase certain stimulation as well as avoid it.

        Some i know are:

        Walking barefoot, Roller coasters, Storm chasing, And for me, somewhat ironically, some forms of fine dining.

      This is not normal. This is the plate of someone who cannot care for themselves either due to depression (or other illness), or simply being uneducated. This person will have multiple medical issues throughout life and die at an early age due to their diet.

        I mean if you eat only this 3 meals a day 7 days a week, sure

        But throw in some veggies next time and cut down on the choccy milk / brownies et voilà. It won’t be the most healthy, instagram diet but it’s perfectly fine that way

          The meme clearly implies this is a regular dinner for this imaginary person. The lack of veggies and overconsumption of sugar is exactly what is being memed about

            I’m not sure about this

            It seems open to interpretation

            But if that’s what the author meant, yeah, that imaginary person won’t last long

    I hope that’s a glass of Bailey’s. Better yet, Bailey’s with a 20% bump of top shelf vodka. That’s my go-to with a fine nugget dinner.
