Simplicity as seen by a bachelor

Living alone as a bachelor, one learns to appreciate simple things. Take an apple for instance. It's nutritious. It's cheap. It comes with an eatable external wrapper and requires zero preparation time. Granted, you'll have to eat the stem and seeds if you want zero clean-up afterwards, but hey, it's a small sacrifice for simplicity's sake. Thoreau would agree.

Granted, man cannot live upon raw fruits and vegetables alone. Protein is another necessary component of a bachelor's diet. That said, is there a need to sacrifice simplicity in the pursuit of this dietary component? Absolutely not! There are many simple ways to obtain protein. Protein mix, lunch meat, canned tuna, and fried eggs, are all excellent sources of protein with a minimum of effort required (notice that I've ordered the list from easiest to prepare to hardest to prepare, fried eggs are definitely pushing the envelope).

Yes, going it solo is definitely a trial in patience, as it takes time to achieve nirvana in food preparation. However, once reached, all the pain of hitting your goal will be instantly forgotten, and you will live forever in a state of eternal bliss and pleasant satiation. 

DISCLAIMER: The above rhetoric is meant as a sarcastic critique of complex food preparation. The author does not actually view a violation of simplicity as a sin, nor is he advocating the concept of nirvana. Rather, he finds a good dose of humor to be helpful in digestion, and it serves as an important ingredient in his patented Spice of Life™.
