Some company actually markets a product under the name “Soylent”?
Scary.
When individuals reach, in my opinion, that point they are starving for more than food.
Food is the first basic impulse we get satisfied and it is intermixed with confort, closeness and bonding. Later it will upgrade into a communal moment and the sharing of time and exchange of experiences.
Again, in my view, to see eating as a chore says how lonely and dehumanized a person is. How little self worth they have.
Great point. Eating is such a large part of culture. It’s why there are countless cooking/food/travel shows out there (Bourdain being the GOAT). Anyone not participating in this collective ritual is separating themselves from a large part of society.
Bourdain was a genius. Controversial but they all tend to be as such.
I agree with you. But please take a moment to consider this as well: people need time to eat. And by extension, to live. Something we are colectively slowly being drained of, through “work ethics”, “fashion trends”, “healthy life styles”, etc.
We need to live. To eat. To sleep. To be together. To get angry with each other and make amends afterwards. And we are being robbed of our humanity by not having it.

Which is sad.
