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.

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.
