Food is not as simple as it seems.

Sure. My company would reduce the transaction costs and help find people who prepare food for you.

How would you handle a customer claiming to have gotten sick from a meal?

I was thinking about making a business out of it, but then I was worried about potentials for freaks and lawsuits. It's ok if it's just me vetting people for me personally (and I know I'M not a freak as a customer, so that's half the battle =P)

Liability is one problem. Another is that labor costs will go up as the business develops.

Litigation is a problem.

Perhaps this is that one company that one should not start in America.

I would like to point out that not all hours of the day are spent "generating value".

If your time is worth $30 per hour, but you enjoy cleaning enough that you aren't willing to pay $10 per hour for it, you're implying that you would sacrifice $20 per hour to clean. So when you retire, will you pay people that much for the chance to clean their house?

Possibly the stupidest non sequitur I have read here in a while. You're joking, right?
