Picky Grouchy Non-Cook FAQs and not so FAQs

DOES THE NON-COOK DISLIKE EATING?

---

The non-cook should not be confused with the non-eater, except in the case of the No Eat Non-Cook, where the not eating and the not cooking serve to feed off of each other in a self perpetuating cycle. But generally, though the non-cook may certainly have his or her share of food issues, not eating is not necessarily one of them.  Even pickiness, which is not by any means always a hall mark of the non-cook, is not exactly not eating.  It's not eating certain things, or not eating certain things prepared in certain ways. And etc.

Non-cooks make perfectly good, often very enthusiastic eaters, especially if they did not have the misfortune of cooking the food themselves. It’s true that there are also grumpy, grouchy, picky, non-appreciative people who are non-cooks.  But these individuals are perhaps grumpy, grouchy, picky, non-appreciative people who are using food to hone their skills as such. Perhaps it is a phase.  Hopefully, the person will grow out of it, or maybe become focused on an issue she can better grump, grouch and pick on, not appreciate, and  really sink her teeth into. After all, why be unhappy about a meal you did not even cook when you can be unhappy about something else far less fleeting and digestible?
