What are you talking about? He cooked that meat, didn't he?
Sure, let's say that.
Are you sure his mum didn’t cook it?
Childhood neglect, abuse, autism, and enough money to rely on pre-made foods.

P.S.: Don't be so dismissive of people whose struggles you're unfamiliar with. And that's assuming this image wasn't staged.
I'm early Gen X with a bunch of much older boomer siblings. By the time I came along my mom was too frazzled to teach me "women's work" of cooking and cleaning. I relied on prepackaged, frozen, and just a couple basic recipes to get me through.
By the time I was 27-28 I started having kids. I took the opportunity to basically watch 24/7 food network (before all the competitions and game shows) and learned to cook. My sons? I started teaching them to cook as soon as I could get them to participate without hurting themselves.
But that's me. I enjoy cooking, so I went for it. Some people don't even like cooking, or enjoy food enough to care beyond eating as unavoidable body maintenance.
I semi learned from my mother. I can follow a recipe no problem. I tend to over cook rather than undercook. Making my own creations isn't where I excell.However, I choose to put my time into other pursuits. Food is just sustenance. I eat the same thing every day. (Also found a shirt I like and ordered 7 and wear them every day)
the "i never want to shit again" colon-pounder special
I see youre a biologist.. lol
Choc milk aside that looks like dog food. If you're going to eat meat at least learn to cook it properly. No self respecting boy (or girl for that matter) should be inflicting this abomination upon themselves. Why do boys apparently have to hate themselves like this?
Love me some milk steak.
I wish "Guys can't survive on their own without someone parenting them 24/7" was what people meant when they complained about misandry.
When I was like 9 years old I had steak and a chocolate milk at a fancy restaurant (fancy to nine year old me).
I threw up and have never sought that particular combination out again.
It's been literally decades and I just got that weird extra saliva kick in the back of my throat that says I won't be trying it again tonight.
I hated steak as a kid. Chicken nuggets tho.
I thought I hated steak as a kid, turns out my parents were not great at cooking steak
Yeah my parents are just awful at cooking. My mom cooks every burger and steak well done.
I fail to see a single thing wrong with this.
It looks like dog shit, for one.
I might mistake it for dog food, but I've not seen a dog shit cubes.
Wombat shit then (I've seen it, it's cubed).
...did you cook those steak nuggets to well done?!?!
Hard to tell... they're just grey and probably almost flavorless.
I'm betting they got covered in either ketchup or steak sauce.
Throw some eggs or potatoes in there and you're set.
Would eat
Sloppy steaks at truffonis
Doggy!!!!!
Woof, arf, bark.
Talk about your "bone appetit"
"My son turned out just fine"
Sir, your daughter barks on command.
Meatloaf Crunch! 😊
I want boy dinner now
I can't take an adult who drinks chocolate milk seriously.
Mmmmm, choccy milk. 🤤🤤🤤🤤
Cringe
Haha, Choccymilk go brrrr
That's an interesting way of saying "I gatekeep what people are allowed to enjoy."
How about just considering that what drinks people consume says absolutely nothing about them, other than "I don't care what people think about what I enjoy?"
Well how dare you my good sir/madam
Its clearly steak sauce
