All this food becomes quite welcome to a large part of the population. After all it is not about been poor, but about having a handy meal. Picking up a bowl of bean soup is great. After all no one makes a single serving for that. What about Borscht? Again single orders are difficult to do up yourself. So there is a second issue here. Such food is basic and nutritious. It easily replaces highly processed go to foods now in the market place. Organize this properly and we can have community kitchens supporting all sorts of folks with convenience meals that are at least cheap or free and everyone knows they are making it all food efficient...
