(Don't) Become A Guerilla Chef
Please think of your coworkers!
I admit it, I enjoyed Brian Palmer's article in Slate about how you too can become a guerilla chef. As Palmer explains, this basically involves bringing a hot plate and an electric fry pan into your office, closing the door, and cooking yourself a proper lunch from fresh ingredients.
The first and most obvious point to be made here is, how many people actually work in offices anymore? How many people actually have a door that they can close, versus a cubicle? In my (completely off-the-cuff) estimation, only about 2% of America's total work force can bring in a hot plate and close the door. The rest are working in cubicles, restaurants, auto shops, industrial plants, driving trucks, etc. So this strategy is, strictly from a statistical standpoint, a tool of the cultural elite.
