Ask HN: Eating and coocking is so inneficient, better way?

Is this a legit question or an attempt to build future interest in a meal prep startup?

Many, many companies do this. I can name three companies selling meal replacement shakes that you could probably subsist on for months without noticeable nutrition problems. I'm regularly bombarded with ads for companies that will send me prepared meals I only need to microwave and eat.

I would be very surprised if someone wasn't able to find a reasonable solution to this problem with a few minutes of googling.

I think it's legit, as I doubt a marketing effort would "cock up" the title

Knowing how frequently products like Ensure are used in elderly care, I'd rather savour good food now, for as long as possible.

Not to mention Soylent's thesis was that if they made it as bland as possible, folks wouldn't ever get tired of it. I would describe their core flavor profile as "beige."
