So here's an idea I had a while ago which I am going to share with you, maybe someone wants to execute it.
Lets take a look at something. Assume there are say 500 people living around you (by some metric), divided in 215 families. Every day, at least once, at least one member of that family takes food out from storage, wastes some time preparing it and feeds the family.
If we accept the assertion of 215 families, we realise how much of a waste of time, money and resources it is to have 215 different storage, purchasing and preparation units every day. So the idea is to centralise it.
Imagine you have a 'subscription-based' take away of sorts. To join in on this you pay some money every month. In return you're guaranteed a meal (two?) a day. With the money the company could afford to buy in bulk, hire a professional chef and offer a balanced diet. Theoretically, if enough people take on the offer, the cost required to purchase, store and prepare the food will be less than if everyone made it themselves.
"But they already invented that," I hear you say, "It's called a restaurant". Well this idea is different in two ways.
Firstly this idea is non-profit and intended to save the community money. Its a more efficient way of doing things, and it'll save people time.
Secondly, restaurants are there to offer attractive food as a form of entertainment. This idea would offer well-cooked balanced food instead of fancy stuff which is bad for you and which would be eaten irregularly.

Its called a Soup Kitchen.
ReplyDelete@Bobs: Except that its not free or low priced, its not soup, it's not cheap goods and its not for poor people.
ReplyDeleteIts just the centralisation of cooking.
A soup kitchen, a bread line, or a meal center is a place where food is offered to the hungry for free or at a reasonably low price.
