So profoundly weird to think that the modern notion of cooking *is* so deeply modern. Like if you want to be able to purchase an ingredient originally cultivated and possibly even grown in this instance halfway across the world, sorted and scanned to ensure that it likely contains zero ways to make you sick, and stored in a relatively study, resealable container priced in with the food, collectively less than half an hour's wage, and then measure it out according to a standard reliable recipe, using tools for measurement crafted to be both highly durable and highly smooth and precise, you can do that. And the ability to engage in this process could apply to hundreds of millions, maybe even billions of people on earth. And with the right economic and international reforms, it could genuinely be something every single person on the planet can do within our lifetimes.
We've come so far. We're so close now.
