Core Proposal:
A highly customizable automated-driven food system that:

  1. Scans individuals’ biology (DEXA, health metrics) and preferences
  2. Generates optimal meal plans (nutrition, ethics, cost constraints)
  3. Pairs with UBI for universal access to healthy food
  4. Operates through:
    • Automated restaurants
    • Smart supermarkets (pantry management)

Why This Matters for EA:

  1. Health Impact:
    • Reduces malnutrition/diet-related disease (huge DALYs)
    • Personalized prevention for diabetes, heart disease, etc.
  2. Economic Efficiency:
    • Cuts food waste via precise demand matching
    • Lower healthcare costs long-term
  3. Ethical Consistency:
    • Integrates animal welfare/eco-footprint preferences
    • Aligns with UBI as poverty solution

Key Features:

  • Biology-first design: Auto-DEXA scans + health integration
  • Full customization: From keto to cultural diets
  • Impact tracking: Carbon/ethics scores for meals
  • UBI integration: Ensures accessibility

Scalability Advantages:

  1. Wider area coverage for local population
  2. Pantry automation reduces distribution costs
  3. Data feedback loop improves recommendations

Potential Pilots:

  • Start with high-food insecurity populations
  • Partner with GiveDirectly (UBI) + nutrition NGOs
  • Test in university cafeterias or corporate campuses

Challenges:

  • Privacy concerns (health data)
  • Cultural adoption of automated kitchen
  • Infrastructure requirements
