    I definitely get the appeal of fast food. It might also depend on what a “Medium” pizza is.

    6 people for 3 medium pizzas doesn’t seem too bad, especially if there’s other snacks or food. But if I had 10 people with 3 medium pizzas, I think I’d have 10 hungry people and 0 pizzas left, haha

      Sure. 10 adults is more like a party though. I’m thinking more like my family, two adults and two kids. Cooking for the four of us is very time consuming and requires a ton of research and shopping and trial and error. Not to mention the pickiness of children, so a lot of food gets wasted or doesn’t end up in your family’s stomaches. It is so much work making 12 relatively balanced plates of food a day and it is very expensive. So some people throw up their hands, grab some pizzas or happy meals, and say “I’ll do better next time.”

        I’m not anyone who was arguing with you about fast food vs. cooking, and I’m on the same side as you on that. I just couldn’t imagine 3 medium pizzas feeding 10 people to satiety, haha
