    See it’s not though and that’s part of my point. Accurately scaling your operation is a huge part of that bang for your buck goal.

    Feeding 1000 people three times a day seven days a week. It becomes a fuck it number. I couldn’t probably waste food in that instance anything I have will likely be devoured in three or four days tops.

    A family of four is a tighter budget and operation. Food waste becomes a lot more likely and certain items can’t be reused. If I make a bunch of turkey I can reuse that meat for other dishes. Whereas scrambled eggs I really can’t.

    So when it comes to a 1000 people fuck it scramble the eggs they’ll eat them. When it comes to a family of 4 that one bird can become three or even four meals and instead of scrambled eggs I can probably use those eggs in a different way to elongate their shelf life. It requires more control and finer tuning which is actually much more difficult in many ways.

    They’re almost different logistical issues entirely and requiring different tuning. Which is why it becomes the logistical nightmare that it is, it can feel unpredictable and unreasonable to a lot of people
