Amazingly enough, places change with time and the Parsippany my father grew up in back in the 1950s and 1960s may not be the same Parsippany you experienced on your way to the mall in 2002.

Don't you just hate when you wind up in a store with people who are in a socioeconomic class that is pretty obviously about two levels lower than your own?
bubble idea: cookr, order a meal from a local "food sharing" provider at a standard price and it's delivered, and you need to neither pay nor tip the deliverer

the "food sharing" providers are unvetted independent contractors paid a percentage who prepare meals using entirely their own facilities, recipe, and ingredients

the company uses its vast VC funding to fight any attempt at regulation for sanitation, safety, quality, or licensing because they're just connecting people who want food with those who have food to share, checkmate

what about that idea but with health?

like, let's say you don't have insurance and also you just can't find the time to go to the dr, with healthr, a certified (by healthr) 'technician' will come to your house in a white van with a red cross on the side of it and help you with various homeopathic treatments as well as give you thinks like shots and injections as needed.

that and they were all pretty much going through a couple of cafe press style companies that just change the labeling and packaging to whatever you send them

are energy drinks classified as food in the states? they're health supplements or something in Canada iirc

health departments don't gently caress around, thank goodness.

some journalist in NYC decided to see what his own kitchen would rate and invited a health inspector by to check it out after he had throughly cleaned and prepped everything. it still failed.

its probably legal if you're like living on an outpost in the yukon on a branch of a special trucker highway or out 50 miles from the nearest town in wyoming.

we could use that money to regulate foods, for example but it goes to billionaires who sometimes do a charity
