HN – Ask HN: What if an entire city banned home cooking?

Every meal would come from centralized kitchens, automated meal factories, or restaurant-style delivery. No chopping, no dishes, no cooking smells, just ready-to-eat meals at your doorstep.

Pros:

* Guaranteed nutrition and food safety

* No more time wasted cooking or cleaning

* Potentially less food waste with centralized meal prep

* Economies of scale make ready-to-eat meals as affordable as home cooking

Would you live in a city like this?
