Follow-up Post about “Hand-Made” on 3/30.

I didn’t mean to say that all of the housemaker (mostly parents, I guess) should prepare the handmade meal, otherwise love doesn’t exist there. I didn’t say that. As I received in the comment from @tuism (thank you), in this busy life to sustain the life, handmade meals (anything handmade for that matter) is kind of luxury. Shopping the grocery, cooking, serving, and clearing. It take good 3 or 4 hours every day. That is a lot of commitment, and skill diversify. Some doesn’t like cooking. I understand.

I really hope I didn’t leave the impression that “only handmade meals are good.” My point is, “the food without any humans hands” sounds kind of strange, and I wouldn’t choose to eat. ☆
We have choices. Instead of cooking the meals every day, we can choose taking the family to a good-family-operated, local, restaurants instead of a fully robotic restaurant. We can get a deli or sandwich from local store instead of checking the iphone in front of the robot to be served. I would say even microwaving the frozen pizza can be in a category of “preparing with hand”. ☆
It is the matter of choice & priority. I said “I don’t care organic much”. The true statement would be “I would like to purchase the organic when I can afford. As of now, my choice is limited, and therefore I prefer purchasing ‘local produce’ rather than ‘somewhat mass-produced’ organic”.
☆
Being attentive to what we do is the core of “caring”. The image of “Eating food from a machine directly with no human interaction” freaked me out, and it is the reason of the previous post. ☆
We would like to share the power of “handmade” and therefore we care the process very much, & it is all about balancing days. ☆

前回の手料理の話の補足です。「手料理が優先順位」と書きましたが、それは俺の話で、「手料理じゃなきゃ愛情がない」なんていうメッセージを（勝手にｗ）読み取らないようにお願いしたいなと。母乳論争にも似た話かもしれませんが、手作りというものは現代において贅沢の一つです。共働き世帯において手作りって結構難しい。冷凍食品、惣菜、レストラン。全部良いんです。人の手が入ってるでしょ？温めるだけでも愛情です。惣菜を買ってくるのだって愛情です。美味しいレストランにつれていくのも愛情。ただ全自動レストランは違う気がして。席に座り、スマホを確認する眼の前でロボットだけが食事を準備し、食べて帰る。それが人間の未来なのかなぁと。
