Eating at home is NIMBY-aligned (that’s a real sentence I just typed)

A Twitter user who goes by Repositioning Play has news for you. They tweeted: “Recent Twitter discourse compels me to remind you: home cooking is regressive, NIMBY-aligned, problematically gendered, and ultimately a means of reifying existing class structures. The revolution will not be prepared in your kitchen; it will be served to you at a restaurant.”
Alright, here we go.
NIMBY stands for “not in my backyard” and it’s usually a way to describe the way residents of an area will refuse developments in their neighborhoods while having no problem with the development occurring somewhere else. Hypocrisy in its purest form.
Repositioning Play says that cooking at home is NIMBY-aligned and I have to assume that they’re making an argument that cooking at home keeps people from engaging in their community. Maybe? I guess?
