Ahahaha... then you hate to cook. Prep is the least stressful part of
cooking... prep is the most relaxing part of cooking. If you don't do
prep then you do take-out... no other option, none. Buying precut
veggies is take-out. Buying precut veggies is exactly/precisely the
same as buying preground mystery meat... anyone who does either is no
kind of cook. I'm positive you've never cooked anything... but
neither have 95% of rfc'ers.
