A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

I am fortunate we have enough mental energy to go to stores to buy ingredients to cook our own meals most days.
Its similar, to what is referred to as “adhd-tax” I am still in this picture more then i would like.
Doesn't really matter what your mental energy is if you don't have the money to have any other choice. Few years ago I was comfortably living on under £100 a month after paying rent for a bedroom, then putting the last £75 or so of my income into savings.
I mean it matters in the sense that you just won't eat if you can't muster up the mental energy to make a meal.
E: this was me
What do you mean bread isn't a meal?
Also half of Americans live in "food deserts" with limited or no options for fresh, healthy food/groceries. Often their only sources of sustenance are the dollar store and fast food.
Maybe, but I hear the same things here and I am not aware of food deserts being a term in the UK.
I mean its not like there was a dark where i lived on a single bag of chips a day or the occasional cup noodles or anything.
Very affordable lifestyle, but you do feel even worse long term.
For a while I got discounted veg at the end of the day and threw it all into a slow cooker that I kept running all week. Take a meal out and top up with more of what ever cheap ingredients I could get.
People I shared the house with had started to steal my food which is why I switched to storing everything in my room and the slow cooker in my room. No fridge/freezer but you can even store meat for several days in a slow cooker. 22:55 the local coop sometimes had sausages for pennies.
Thats kinda cool,
Like a modern day perpetual stew.
That is what I used as inspiration initially and it worked pretty well. A slow cooker is probably more reliable at keeping the temperature than a log fire too.
