Staple Food Vending Machines Serve Those Living on $4 a Day

In Germany the small beverage company "Premium" does not offer discounts on larger orders. Instead they offer "Antimengenrabatt" for smaller customers, in order to give them a chance to enter the market.

They operate on a couple of those principles which they call the "Premium Operatoing System for companies". http://www.premium-cola.de/betriebssystem (Sorry, german only).

So while I like the idea of the algramo vending machine, I think it makes the world a little bit more inhumane for the poor, while Premium makes the business world a little bit more humane.

I hope that www.soylent.com and www.spacenutrientsstation.com would do something similar in US

This seems like something that might've been in Stephenson's Snow Crash.

Looks like something that can be useful here in the US.

This is awesome! (I just hope for these poor people's sake that it's more reliable than the Coke machine at my work).
