Food without the wrappers

Tonight I spent some time with some vegan friends that have formed a passion for cooking delicious vegan food. And with mind turning, I started to convince them that there was a way to start an online vegan food service where they cook some meals and distribute them very locally by using the internet.
The idea would be to have them decide how many meals they want to make that day and cook a few meals with fresh ingredients on a semi-large scale each day. We could then use reusable bio-plastic containers to hold the food for when it is either frozen or distributed. This would hopefully allow us to safely package these foods in sets of five meals, looking to fill 5 meals of this person's diet with delicious vegan food. The containers will be reusable so they will cost them the first time they buy the food, but the next time we will not charge for the container if the previous one is returned for cleaning.
Range of this service will be limited to bicycle reach which amounts to most of Bloomington. Limited quantity makes delivery a small daily task.
This model leaves little waste, the importance of limiting negative byproducts is observed at every turn. This food distribution model also allows for expansion, not from a single group, but through a large online community. Surely everyone knows a person who can cook delicious food. It is not unreasonable for that person to want to share their food with the rest of the world for a minimal profit. They could offer even as little as 5 plates of home cooking up on a website at a price reasonable for the ingredients, delivery, and overall effort. A localized food ebay would allow much greater diversity in the foods experienced by people everywhere. Reusable containers could be used universally as a calling card for such food. Allowing patrons of previous microrestaurants to clean the containers and sell their own meals locally. Risk of food poisoning is always a concern, so it is clear that in order to cook meals for others, there would have to be an initial inspection of the food, but quality control beyond that should be community based, with people commenting on the meals they received allowing the best meals to increase their prices to meet with raised demand. This will allow expansion of some people's passion for food into full restaurants. This allows for a food minor league for lovers of great cooking that don't have the funds to create a whole restaurant.

I plan to spend a few hours a day on web design to throw this idea into action. The vegans will start thinking about cooking and we may see a new way to eat formed out of the ether.
