To see if I was the only oddball with no microwave, I conducted an informal survey of friends on Facebook. The lack of convenience foods means I had to learn to cook differently (or maybe I just had to learn to cook), by buying ingredients and preparing meals. “Food tastes better when it is not heated in the microwave,” said Deborah Schwartz Cunningham, whose microwave broke a few years ago and wasn’t replaced.

Well, here’s what we know right now about the future of the Emmy-nominated series…Will there be a season 3 of Nobody Wants This on Netflix? So far, Netflix has remained tight-lipped about whether there are more episodes of Nobody Wants This on the cards for the time being. In fact, Kristen even told Parade magazine that the show’s “writer’s room is working right now”, even though Netflix is yet to commission Nobody Wants This for another season.

If a government can override a pregnant person’s decisions when they’re incapacitated, it can override anyone’s.
