Get Ready for Pizza Vending Machines, America

There are several points of concern in this promotional video for the “Let’s Pizza” vending machine, marketed by a European company that’s opening up an office near Atlanta within the year, according to PizzaMarketplace.com.

Let’s set aside for now the video’s assertion that this automatic snack constitutes “genuine Italian pizza.” What I want to know is, why is this company betting on the strategy that robot-made food is somehow better than human food? The advertisement stresses that the pizza is “untouched by human hands” and made in “a human-free environment.” Don’t people like a little human touch, not to mention all-important quality control? Have we become a society of germophobes that can’t stand the thought of chefs putting their fingers in our foodstuffs?

tballardbrown: Michaela Deprince does not look like the “typical” 17-year-old ballet dancer. At 5’4″, she is shorter and more muscular than most ballet dancers. She is also from Sierra Leone and all three of these are noted “problems” (with the admitted race and body type issues in ballet) for someone who just wants to dance. But that isn’t stopping her at all. (via How This Orphan From Sierra Leone Became A Famous Ballerina | Madame Noire) Love this story!
