      The Chinese communists' attempt to replace private kitchens and food preparation with communal dining halls is pretty much unanimously agreed to be one of their greatest political failureshttps://twitter.com/ActNormalOrElse/status/1223234402118967298 …

      part and parcel to this is giving up the illusion of choice from going to the grocery store and eating more communally and multigenerationally. only serious way to address food waste and the enormously costly, environmentally hazardous supply chain that currently exists

      There is a reason the dining halls started out as this big trumpeted symbol of the prosperity of the new post-revolutionary world and then the whole program was scrapped within like two years

          I mean I dunno What do you think would happen if they came to your neighborhood telling you to donate all your kitchen supplies and volunteer for a shift at a dining hall for you and all your neighbors that was where you'd eat all your meals from now on How do you think it'd go

          "The program only failed because generational poverty led to a hoarding and shirking mindset preventing the development of true class consciousness" That's the official explanation for why it failed, and that's as may be, but I bet in a richer country it would fail even worse

          The way to get people to accept communal kitchens is to overwork them so they don’t have time to cook, and then sell them packaged meals. Communists just don’t understand marketing.

          Replying to @arthur_affect

          As I understand it, Boris Yeltsin went to a Houston area Randall's store and was apparently flabbergasted by the variety of foodstuffs on offer. I believe he drove around awhile and made an unscheduled stop to be sure he wasn't in some kind of Potemkin village.

          That said, we could easily dehydrate U.S. food waste and sell it as cheap animal fodder or do any number of other things with it to make it vastly less wasteful, we don't do that because if we did it would be easier for countries to farm their own meat instead of importing ours.
