Pre-cut fruit/veggies as an accommodation

I'm going to go on a rant that's been building up for a long time but needs to be said.

I just watched a video from How To ADHD where they finally articulated what I've been trying to explain to people for a long time; that buying pre-cut fruit and veggies is an accommodation.

Because holy shit, do people get angry at people who buy things pre-cut, like it's some kind of moral failing deserving of the vitriol and abuse that it gets. And it always comes complete with people smugly declaring that they take the time to cut their fruit and veg themselves, like somehow that makes them better than people who don't.

Lets get something absolutely clear.

Yes, we know it would be cheaper to buy produce and cut it up ourselves. Yes, we know that the added packaging is more wasteful. And we know that other people are judging us for it.

But here's the thing, starting with the fact that "taking the easy way" is not a moral failing:

Pre-cut produce is an accommodation.

I have ADHD, depression and seasonal affective disorder (seasonal depression). One of these by themselves makes taking care of myself difficult enough, but very rarely am I battling just one of these conditions at a time. And when it comes to cooking or preparing food, my options are very often either to spend a bit more to buy pre-cut fruit or veg, or not eat fruit/veg at all. Because if I buy produce I have to prep myself, at least one of three things will happen: 1) I'm going to forget it exists until it starts to make the fridge stink and it has to be thrown away. 2) I'm going to see it every time I open the fridge, feel bad that I can't bring myself to prepare it, worsening my executive dysfunction and depression, and making it even less likely I ever will prepare it. 3) I'm going to buy it, put it in my fridge, remember that it's there and beat myself up until it expires for being unable to bring myself to prepare it.

When people rail against those who buy pre-cut, what those of us who rely on it hear is that you don't think we deserve to eat healthily because we can't do it ourselves. Which sounds about as absurd as telling someone with glasses that they don't deserve to wear those glasses because they can't see without them.

Rant over. Leave people who buy pre-cut alone.

The Odyssey would have been a lot shorter if Odysseus gave the Cyclops weed instead of wine.

Unfortunately I've discovered that I adore candied winter melon, Mứt Bí, which is what you eat when you catch yourself looking at a quartz crystal and going That looks JUICY

But they're really only in stores around here during the lunar new year and I do not have the face to march myself into the Vietnamese market and grab an enormous armful of bright red plastic containers and explain to the wonderful people working the registers that yes I am a grown adult with a relentless sugar addiction and no this will not last me more than a week but also there's no way to get them online for anything close to the prices at the Vietnamese market so I have No Choice

Please can I just buy a twenty pound bag of these anonymously on the internet where I can hide my urges

Into this wild Abyss The womb of Nature and perhaps her grave Of neither sea, nor shore, nor air, nor fire But all these things in their pregnant causes mixed Confusedly, thus must ever fight Unless the Almighty Maker them ordain His dark materials to create more worlds Into this wild Abyss the wary Fiend Stood on the brink of Hell and looked a while Pondering his voyage⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
