Agree. The "only" major problem is this space is that you need to be "connected" in ways that the most anonymous mass-market products not. Also, is easier to get into nasty competition, corruption and all that stuff. Is

A simple one: Instead of everyone do a little of everything every day: I do all food and cleansing today, and you tomorrow. The "day off" (days off if wanna doit in blocks) is the reward!
