I hesitate to admit it here but I actually quite enjoy shopping. I've
been declared an honorary girlie in the past. But still there are times
when I just want hot food, now. There are households where nobody likes
shopping, and not just spotty geeks in bedsits. There exists a spectrum
from people who would appreciate something like this occasionally to
those who would use it for three meals a day every day. I think that
there is a demand for it. I don't think that the demand is enough to
justify setting up the necessary infrastructure at today's prices. But I
predict that this is the direction the world is moving and so it's just
a matter of time before advancing technology makes it cheap enough.
