If you were to blend the benefits of services like Soylent (nutritionally balanced meals) and BlueApron (delicious delivered recipes), you arrive at a service where you pick from a list of healthy ingredients and the service uses linear programming to build "solutions" aka recipes for meals that balance the ingredients such that they provide proper nutrition and then provide you with the list of ingredients to purchase (or ship them directly to you).

We'll have IBM use Watson to provide the solutions -- call it "Big Iron Chef".

I would love that, particularly if it let one set different preferences for different days (e.g. for Catholics fasting on Fridays).

It'd be awesome to mix in some machine learning to figure out new recipes one might like, too.
