I notice that you put "eggs" in the category of things that you can prepare without a method of heating, which is an excellent way to get salmonella.

Eggs are in the category of things can do not need a fridge for storage, not of things that do not need heat to prepare.

Whether that's true or not depends where you live. The US and Europe have developed different systems for egg production and storage.

Yeah, I goofed by listing them in the heatless category. You can short-term store them without a fridge, though.

Obviously none of the things I listed will form a complete diet, but if you are eating mostly take-out they are probably a superior substitute for some fraction of those take-out meals.

True, but what fraction that is, and the time needed to do this in a safe and waste free manner actually matters a lot when you are on the margins.
