The only reason I need a refrigerator, stovetop, microwave, and sink I'd because I couldn't easily feed myself without them. Sure I could eat out every day but that's expensive and not very healthy. All I want is is two filling meals a day and maybe a snack. I already eat shit at work is a quasi cafeteria setting so at home what do I cook? Not well because living in an apartment makes it harder to cook, cooking for a single person is usually impossible because there's so much wasted food that I won't eat while it's fresh because of our buy in bulk culture. But what if every apartment building had a communal kitchen or two where meals were served on a schedule, it would literally set restaurants out of business and that's a good thing. Eating in a communal setting would definitely cut down on obesity and overconsumption. It would also be easier to make the people vegan since nobody can cook for themselves. Also if you ever had to deal with dinner table politics with friends or family that would probably end forever because neighbors and strangers don't want to hear your asinine opinions in everything and might rightfully beat you for saying something ignorant. Obviously no alcohol which would be good for society, no large portions, strict management of food. Oh and it's fucking free.
I have a family member who will swell up into a giant purple marshmallow then literally die if their food is prepared in an environment where someone even thought about the very existence of nuts let alone contaminated anything with even the smallest amount.
Allergies are incredibly serious and extremely widespread to varying amounts.
A fifth of the population has IBS and it requires special dietary thought into every meal just to make it managable, with varying degrees of severity that lean into being completely and totally non-functional for an entire day for many people.
This entire thing will not work. There are way too many people with requirements that are solved by either making their own food or having extremely broad options to choose from. This concept is aimed at eliminating options AND their ability to make it themselves in a secured and safely uncontaminated environment.
Yup, this is me. I have a huge list of food allergies that will kill me (provided I don't get medicine/hospital), and am hypersensitive to peanuts. And even relatives forget this sometimes when making stuff for me.
Side benefit, is that I am now a pretty good cook, just since there's not a lot of restaurant food I can have.
a 5th of the population has IBS?? Thats either fake and stupid, or correct and insane.
How can 1 in 5 people have fucked up guts?
I don't know I just know the data because IBS sucks and it's right!
Nobody talks about having it and yet it's incredibly common. It's not particularly well understood though which is most of the problem to be honest, given that it's mostly a huge variety of different issues all lumped into one descriptor of symptoms.
