Fun thread - what did you think about the food Kim ate?

[John Ikenwanze]

It is a no, no for me. I didn't fancy Kim's meal and would pass on any offer to live on it.

The food sounds awful. You’re right though; it’s a weird mix of healthy and missing key fruits and vegetables. I would really hate the food, but if you don’t know any better, then it may not matter.

I could certainly live on Kim's diet and personally, I love kale. I am not a great fan of spelt, tofu and quinoa but would prefer them to that red meat steak Kim is trying to get from her uncooperative fridge. The purple week's food was weird but I am puzzled why Kim so much disliked the prunes.

What I really do not like is the concept of the rationed food supplies with the choices and quality dictated by the food company dependent on the human's social ranking assessed by the AIs. And the diet of only microwaved ready meals lacks the comforts of home-cooked meals.

I found Kim's relationship with her refrigerator hilarious. I guess if I was in her position I'd have no choice other than to eat what I was given, to the extent that I could. I love my coffee in the morning, but definitely with cream. The sausages and eggs she refers to having the week before the spelt and tofu spell would be right up my alley as well as oats with butter and cream. The supper options were mostly dire (tofu without flavoring is just meh!). I suppose that restricting the diet of the masses would ensure weight and health is optimized, although in practice it seems more like punishment for being mediocre.

I hadn’t even thought about the food as weight control for the masses. Interesting take and spot on!

The diet sounds awful. It seems like it doesn't have any flavor. I like quinoa when it's mixed with other flavorful foods, like in a salad. I don't believe I've ever had spelt- hulled wheat. I do enjoy lentils, especially in soup, but I don't think she gets the luxury of soup. But I am not a fan of tofu or boiled synchicken, I am sure. Yuck.

Except for the microwaved tofu, I think

I am a big fan of quinoa! And lentils

A little bit of salt it makes it very tasty but I think I would easily eat it also without it.

Yes, I totally agree. Which in the end it will make you have an unhealthy relationship with the food.

[readingswithsoso]

Yes, this really upset be too! At least an electrical stove!

[readingswithsoso]

With all the diets that have been going around nowadays, it is not impossible that in the future, meals will be only for our dietary requirements.

Yes, possibly. But I think it was more to be used as a punishment according to their social ranking.

[Hubre De Klerk]

The food sounded absolutely terrible and I definitely won't be able to live on that and also not without having any choice in what I eat. I COMPLETELY understand why people would break the "law" to get food. I would've been one of them!

I wonder if this is responsible for the Kim-fridge antagonism? Kim hates food, fridge picks up on it and sulks, gives Kim more food that she hates...Vicious cycle.

I think it was awfully repetitive, but it was healthy. Probably specifically engineered for maximum longevity.

Bwah haha. With salt, much much much is possible.
