The disruption is the prep work and cleanup. I dream of a kitchen in a way that cleanup takes less than three minutes and my veg is uniformly chopped for me while I'm on my way home. (I'm quite capable of doing each, but I'm slow, and getting my mise en place takes far too long.)

That leads to me only cooking on weekends when I don't have anything going on. I'm a good cook, but by the time the brussel sprouts are roasted or the vegetable soup is coming together, we've eaten and I've cleaned up, I only have 2 hours before I have to sleep.

Disruption would be fixing that problem, not teaching people they should cook for themselves. (And it's similar for working class poor people, but compounded by the realities of working two jobs and raising children on a limited budged.)

Um. You can buy most vegetables pre-chopped. They cost less than Soylent. They sell them at Walgreen's!


I was thinking more of the machine that creates the dice for the sake of freshness, for one. Further,I can keep an onion for weeks, but a chopped onion has a shorter shelf life.

For that matter, there are food processors that do a terrible but passable job at the prep, but again, the cleaning is suboptimal.
