I mentioned to Critch (Academician on LW) awhile back that I was considering learning how to cook, and he responded that it's not worth my time. I blinked, remembered approximately how much I valued my time, and more or less had to agree. This is a time/money tradeoff that many people whose time is valuable may not be navigating sensibly. There are lots of ways to pay other people to prepare food for you - restaurants, hiring a personal chef, meal delivery programs, etc. I wouldn't be surprised if there was a social network of some kind where people offered to cook for other people, and if there isn't someone should make it.

(I currently obtain food partially through restaurants and partially through a combination of fruit, hard-boiled eggs, and whey protein.)

You poor bastard.... Life is too short to eat whey protein.

I recommend you do learn how to cook, you may well find you enjoy it.
