The Microwave Accessibility Factor
Microwaves reduce:
- dishes
- standing time
- planning
- physical exertion
- executive demand
- cleanup
- decision fatigue
This matters enormously for:
- disabled people
- chronically ill people
- depressed people
- overwhelmed people
- neurodivergent people
- exhausted students
- grieving people
- anyone barely surviving capitalism honestly
Microwave meals are often mocked by wellness culture despite the fact that accessible food is infinitely more valuable than aspirational food nobody has the executive functioning to prepare.
Fed people survive.
Microwaved calories still count.
Warm food still counts.
Frozen meals still count.
The body deserves nourishment even during low-functioning periods.
Especially then.
