Eating an apple is messy? And if you don't have time to take a minute or so to eat and apple, you are way too busy and you need to change your life style.
You must be kidding
Eating an orange involves a great deal of time and effort, and results in a lot of mess and stickiness.
Sure but the journey has a value of its own. I find preparing food, particularly monotonous peeling and chopping to be almost zen like.
That's highly subjective. I don't, for example.
Sure it's very subjective.
On the other extreme I think something like Soylent is downright terrible.
And I love it! I'm enjoying some right now, while my coworkers argue about where to go and spend $10 for lunch.
Messy, sure, but 'a great deal of time an effort'? Really? It takes a matter of seconds to peel an orange.
Do you also avoid going to the bathroom and brushing teeth? These activities seem on the same level of time and effort and also can involve a lot of mess and stickiness.
Find me a faster and cleaner way of keeping my teeth clean or my bowels/bladder empty,and I'll be throwing cash at you faster than you know what to do with.
