Today we’re talking about diners, cafeterias, and Automats: the missing piece in modern eating. If you’ve cooked in a small old apartment kitchen, you might ask, how did everyone cook all their meals here. The answer: maybe they didn’t. Horn & Hardart Automats and diners historically are a big part of city eating. What else comes up in the video? IKEA, Celebrate the Century stamps, horses, and a splash of Gilmore Girls.

As someone who currently eats at their work’s cafeteria and school’s dining halls, I wish we had cafeterias I could go to with the homies.

Dear Abby gave this weight-loss advice: “Regardless of what your mother told you, cleaning your plate is not going to help any starving children in Africa.”

Not wholly truthful piece of food waste does have a climate impact which in turn causes famines. When I was a kid I foodwasted so much. I never wanted to finish my plates even with more than half left and I still feel guilty about that. Since I grew up I got way better about it. I can’t remember even one time doing it. That’s mostly due to having more control over what gets put on my plate in the first place.
