Ask HN: What if we got rid of the kitchen?

It's a case of "if it's not broken, don't fix it".

If you can't cook, what are you going to be eating? Junk food? Gourmet food delivered to you?

The cost of feeding yourself will eat into your monthly wages in a hurry.

There're rental apts in New York City where you don't have cooking facilities. Folks in those situations do all they can to get a regular apt where they can enjoy a cooked mean whenever they please.

No, sir, I'll keep my kitchen.

If nobody had kitchens, there would be cafeterias where you could go to eat (most people would get a monthly pass). Meals there would be much cheaper than anything you could cook at home, because of economy of scales.

What about people who want to cook in their kitchen and eat with their family? I think you may be looking at this too logically, not taking into account the emotional part of preparing and eating food.
