That has to be one of the most empty and obnoxious phrases in the English language. How about "ingredients put between slices of bread by human beings"? Now if you'll pardon me, I think I'll craft a bowl of cereal for breakfast... Given war and pestilence I dont know why this pisses me off so much, but it does.
Tomb -- In a perverse way -- I know what you mean
When I was, as they say a mere lad, I accompanied my father on a visit to NYC
We took the train -- it was my first of many train trips
We toured all the usual suspect sites -- I had a blast
We went to the Automat -- I'm not even sure if it still exists -- But the idea I had was that it really was automatic -- I found out that people put the food into the space behind the door that you selected -- It crushed me -- I was hoping for a robotic food service
Ever since then -- whenever I hear "hand crafted" or the more recent "artisanal foods" -- I secretly pine for the robotic alternative
Why -- because if you want to have your portrait painted -- you hire an artist. However, if you want a mathematically precise and uniform paint job for your car -- you use a robot -- its more precise, faster, more reliable, and you don't need to pay extra for overtime
So if I want a fast sandwich -- automate the process as much as possible to speed-up the line and keep the cost under control
On the other hand, if I'm taking family or client to a fancy restaurant -- I definitely want the chef to lay hands onto the food
