The "Leave It To Beaver" 6pm dinner is a thing of the past, along with the standard 9-5 workday. As people eat later and later, the concept of the "MiniMeal" becomes more important to alleviate those long, ravenous stretches. Standard snackfoods like chips and granola bars just don't cut it anymore. Healthier fare like protein bars still taste awful and are loaded with sugar.

Introducing, in high-density urban areas, the superb quality "MiniMeal." These international tapas - duck-confit-stuffed grape leaves, five-pepper couscous with shitake mushrooms - are distributed in minimalist white vending machines. They cost $3-$4 bucks, and are perfect for a light snack, or 2-3 of them comprising a healthy dinner. The lack of a retail operation (aside from the vending machines) will keep costs reasonable. Effective distribution will ensure freshness, with "same day preparation" guaranteed.

No more chips and chocolate bars. "MiniMeal"s is the smart snacking choice of the future.
