Automating Fast-Food Prep

Here’s an investment that I won’t be making: Miso Robotics and its product “Flippy.”  It uses robotics to cook French fries and flip burgers in fast-food restaurants.

Let’s begin by admitting that such a solution will ultimately replace humans, who are expensive and subject to making mistakes and receiving burn injuries.  In fact, this transformation is already under way.

But do these people offer a superior product at a more attractive price?

More to the point, do you want to speed up the process of laying off human workers while making it cheaper to make food that is essentially poisonous to the human body?

Someone posted this on social media: “If your grocery store has a section for ‘health food,’ ask yourself what’s in the rest of the store.”
