Every house has a kitchen. Ooops. No more. Kitchens are declasse.

Best outsourced. That's why there are bills in the Senate ad House -- SB-186 and HR-413 -- to outlaw kitchens in new construction. The House version goes further -- creating a Federal Anti-Home-Cooking-And-Kitchens Agency (FAHACAKA).

Outsourceing is good for the economy. It's silly for people waste their time in the kitchen cooking when they could be engaged in productive activity. How many trillions of productive hours have we lost already??!!

Wake up America -- get out of the Kitchen already. Leave the cooking to the professionals! Eat out today and every day! Three times a day!

This is somewhat off topic, but is a particular interest of mine. Although some Americans now spend $50,000 or more to renovate a kitchen, basic cooking skills are disappearing in this country, especially among the lower classes. Some point to this as the underlying cause of the obesity epidemic, which affects the poor disproportionately.

Sometimes I worry that we are becoming so specialized, that many Americans wouldn't know how to function if confronted with a national emergency, particularly if it affected our food supply.

HR-413

To authorize qualified organizations to provide technical assistance and capacity building services to microenterprise development organizations and programs and to disadvantaged entrepreneurs using funds from the Community Development Financial Institutions Fund, and for other purposes.

I can see where this could be interpreted as providing for hot dog stands so we can get out of the kitchens.
