Serving Food

Yes, well, I don't see why you care whether the SS members eat or not, really....I mean, they're visitors. They'll leave and come back before they can starve to death anyway. Screw them. Get yer own.
Er ... so my Sim can sit down at the table and have a nice social chat with his new-found friends???
Didn't realise Macrotastics did this, actually. Does it allow for hungry visitors, or is that a silly question?
J. M. Pescado:
If there are visitors present, a dish will be dispensed, but they are not included in the computation for whether it is cost effective to dish visitors, as feeding visitors specifically is effectively a waste of food resources. If nobody was going to eat the extra food anyway, I don't care who does, but I do not waste food specifically on visitors. Increasing relationships while eating mostly just slows down the eating anyway. Didn't your mother tell you not to talk with your mouth full?

Well ye-e-e-e-e-s, but I have 0 in Neatness. Anyway, this is my Sims I am talking about, not me. I hate eating with other people, I also have 0 in Outgoing. In fact, I have 0 in most things. When I made my Sim me I had to doctor it after, it kept telling me I had loads of unused personality points.

A current project is the ability to serve a single food, but to auto-abort the process before the sim actually attempts to eat it, so that it can be given to a child, rather than wasting tons of food "Serving".
This would be pretty cool. I like to have one fairly good cook on a lot who can whip up some good nosh in the kitchen, the other Sims don't get to touch the fridge (at least not very often). Now, this means more time spent cooking, and more opportunities for food to be burnt, but I find that it cuts down on food waste quite a bit, and my Sims don't leave their plates unfinished so often. Also, the cook in question obviously gets better at cooking than if they had served a 6-batch.

I prefer the option of "have meal" to stay.
The reason for it is - when my sims get up in the morning, each one of them has a wish for another breakfast. I am very glad if the two of them want to eat the same food, but somehow both of them want to "learn how to cook x", and for this purpose, I need the "have meal" option.
If I have 2 sims - it's a waste of food to "serve" always; if I have more than 2 sims (3-4) - always I have 1 "have meal" vs 3 "serve meal", or 2 "serve meal".
