This is always an interesting topic ^^ Usually the biggest consideration for us is money. Ruka tends to at least hang around in the background during grocery shopping so he can go "put it back" if we try to buy something that's too expensive and not strictly necessary. I like to think that what we buy is usually a step up, health-wise, from typical college-student fare, since we try to buy organic and so on, though we do devolve into ramen and doughnuts occasionally (which Shiu refers to as "bad food karma")...
We've modified our diet somewhat because of our partner&, who need to avoid starches and dairy most of the time, and we like to cook things that both of our bodies can eat. I think we're actually eating better now than we used to-- more vegetables and so on, although we only have one strict vegetarian in-house that we know of. We *should* experiment with cooking more; most of the time, we've relied on the people we lived with to cook for both of us, and a couple of us (mostly Anthea) want to know a lot more about cooking on their own. (Ruka tends to cook his own meat because he says other people don't cook it the way he wants; "the way he wants" in this case usually being one step up from raw. You take this perfectly cultured, urbane guy, who doesn't go all 'macho man yarf!' on us, and loves fruits and vegetables whenever he can get them, and yet you give him a piece of meat and all he wants is to eat it raw. He's been doing this ever since we were kids and he used to eat the raw hamburger meat out of the package.)
Even though we actually live with another multiple, we do often wish that we were in contact with others locally, or at least with people whom we could be Out around.
