Listen, I'm not one to tell people how to spend their money. If Victor Rask is fond of the frugality of prepping his own food like one of us peasants then all the power to him...and his surgical team. There's definitely something to be said about rounding yourself into form as a functioning adult by knowing you way around the kitchen, so I'm not going to imply that learning to dice your own veggies isn't a fairly respectable initiative. It's just my personal belief that there is even more to be said about rounding yourself into form as a professional athlete who is making multiple millions of dollars a year for the foreseeable future by maintaining round fingertips as opposed to accidentally mixing them in with the onions. Point being, it's a slap in the face to every idiot that dreams of having the annual salary to be served professionally prepared meals, that perfectly intertwine nutritional value and taste, from the comfort of his/her own couch. Daily sustenance is the type of thing that people of modest means convince themselves to take pride in because they know they have to do it anyway, so why not do it well? Being a good cook, while being an honorable quality, is just wildly overrated when you have the money to make sure the hand that feeds you both has all its fingers and belongs to great chef. Therefore, if I were Victor Rask, I would need no more incentive than the overdone jokes (as he's not even the first pro athlete to fall victim to culinary cluelessness this year) currently being made at his expense on the internet to put down the knife and pick up the checkbook. The slight risk of sawing yourself is for the common folk, and it isn't worth the self-rewarding feeling of a pat on one's own back that works double duty in helping an amateur cook choke down his food. By rough estimate, making 4 million per year in the Carolinas is like making 40 million per year elsewhere, so it's about time he splits the difference as opposed to his shooting hand.
