I think it's worth bearing in mind that I was explicitly discussing a future "worst case scenario" for the upper-class culinary culture, and that ultimately nothing in the forseeable future actually prevents you from treating food with whatever set of values you want to. No matter how roboticized "The Best Restaurant In Paris" is, you'll still be able to buy a free-range chicken from your grocery store and pan-sear on your over to your tastes, nor will anything stop you from trying to open a restaurant with those values. (Said restaurant may fail, but new restaurants face an uphill battle in the best of circumstances.) The practices of "The Best Restaurant In Paris" probably have very little impact on $YOUR cooking today, after all, for $YOUR being all readers of this (late) comment.
