Cooking and eating with my family are two major reasons I will never go back to the office if I can help it. You call it a waste of human capital, I call it the parts of my day that I have the most meaningful interactions with other people.
The problems to solve in food today are systemic (eg: the carbon impacts of food production at scale, which are enormous) and at the microeconomic scale (shopping for one person is near impossible).
- unfocussed_mike 5y agoShopping for one person is a mess, isn't it? Eating more veggies helps, if you have somewhere in walking distance you can buy them, because they keep fairly well and they can be combined in different ways. But for example food delivery services have minimum order costs that are just not designed around single people; it's not practical to eat fresh that way, because to get past the threshold and spread the picking/packing/delivery fee, you have to buy more stuff than you need. People who live alone overpay for almost everything, though.
