Almost every line of this is gold, but some lines are platinum:

"Doughnut-delicious yet earthy-sophisticated as befits pizza, it's what cerebral urban circus clowns might eat."
"You can build your own tacos at the dozen-options taco bar. But subvert the dominant paradigm."
"A young Mandarin-speaking couple watch a worker set out two piping-hot new pizzas, then eagerly serve themselves. This is how you might imagine restaurants in the future, on space stations: international, unlimited, ship-shape, and cheap."

Pepe's disproves the meme that poverty leads to obesity because (as that meme says) the poor cannot afford nutritious food.

This is a meme now?
Would be happy to never see a hyphenated compound ever again.
