A great source for cheap cooking is http://CookbookDownloads.info
They have over 100 free cookbook downloads after you register and it's a whole heck of a lot better than an IV!
No. There are many reasons why this is not such a good idea, but the biggest one is infection.
Even if you were trained, IV drips that give nutrition are very susceptible to life-threatening infection.
Also, the IV nutrition (called 'parenteral nutrition'), is actually not very cheap, so you're better off cooking yourself.
There are very few 'easy way outs' in life.
No, IV or parenteral nutrition is never sufficient enough to give your body the nutrition that it needs.. not even for the bedridden person (thats why in long term used, they'll have evident muscle- wasting) how much more for a healthy ambulatory ones.. it's more costly than cooking proper foods.. and yea as what the other med stude answered .. the most notorious adverse effect of IV administration is infection.. coz the IV site will serve as the portal of entry for the invading bacteria.. now, better start loving your kitchen and feed yourself well.. ;p
