Skip the Soylent, Make a Meal Instead
Or alternatively, consider that other people may not have the same priorities as yourself. I say this as someone who cooks and prepares most meals from raw, fresh ingredients: it is time consuming, tiring and often boring. If you&#x27;re a two parent household with very limited time, and you have to choose between spending that time with your children or spending it cooking - why is the virtuous choice necessarily to cook?<p>To make tasty, varied, high quality food is not even always as cheap and healthy as one might imagine. Fresh ingredients go bad quickly, and can sometimes be difficult to source, so you have to plan carefully. Many of us live in small apartments with limited space for preparing food and small refrigerators. We work long days, and both adults need to work now. Saving time on planning, buying ingredients, cooking and washing dishes is very appealing.<p>Why do many people think food should be immune from innovation? We have replaced manual clothes washing with automated washing machines, most people now take their car to a mechanic rather than mending it themselves.
