I think there are important differences between this situation and your chef/frozen food analogy that cause it to break down:
* A digital image is permanent. A meal, by design, is consumed and has a very specific lifespan.
* A digital image is trivial to duplicate and consume again. A meal can be very hard to duplicate (and may even require another chef, or food scientists). No two people can consume exactly the same meal.
* A digital image is not required to survival. Regular intake of food and water is (at least for humans).
and so on.
- glofish 4y agoI think the whole food analogy is missing the main point we are not reusing someone else's food to create a new frozen food. Frozen-ness is about mass production - but not about the origin of that food. It just conflates unrelated issues.
