After changes

Last December, I promised that the LifeTILT FOOD meals would be refined for the January launch, and we would professionally and personally renovate them so that by January twelfth, 2015, everyone could truly order healthy and body-sculpting meals to their doorstep or workplace.

Now, instead of listing the transformations the FOOD meals have undergone, here's an email I sent to the others with the changes I deemed necessary. In this letter, I also wrote that either we stick to the criteria I consider important, or we ditch the whole thing, because I'd rather lose several million forints, but the food and ingredients must be perfect.

So, the aforementioned email, unchanged, as I wrote it back then.

"Summarizing what we've discussed so far.

1. The total daily calorie intake MUST be between 1300 and 1650 calories. Minimal fluctuations are allowed, but the fluctuation must not exceed 5% either up or down. So, it shouldn't be 1700 or 1850, but between 1300 and 1650, this is damn important. The portion sizes, the amount of meat, the quantity of side dishes, and everything in general must be determined with this in mind. Let's stay within the given calorie values.

The people will consume LifeTILT protein for their last meal every day, which has a value of 112 calories. On days when the calorie count is lower, the protein will be mixed not with water, but with 1.5% milk, but I'll communicate that later too. So, the calorie value of the remaining 4 meals must be set so that even with the addition of the 112 calories from the evening protein, we stay within the aforementioned calorie range. If this part is unclear, let me know, but I think it's quite clear.

2. Gabi mentioned that there will be vacuum packaging, and you won't have to bother with wrapping in foil, which is really great. Please send me more information about why this is good for the people. It keeps the food fresh longer, that's fine, but by how much? I know something about 3-4 days, but it would be good to know exactly.
3. Some regulation came out that we have to indicate a few things on the food. Look into this precisely, we definitely need to do this. We have 27 days, I don't want the damn Nébih or other stupid organizations to harass us because of this + women are also completely obsessed with these carb, protein, exact calorie values, so let's put them on, let them calculate if they want.
4. Cheeses must always have a fat content under 15%. We should agree with the Óvári cheese producers to give us a good price, and they also have good low-fat cheese. If we can't agree with them, we still need low-fat cheese. No semi-fat or almost low-fat.
5. Ham, chicken or turkey breast with over 90% meat content. I've told Kriszti a thousand times that we should somehow agree with the Aldi suppliers. I know they don't care about us because it's not a big deal for them, but it would still be worth a try. We'll go in, Zsófi and I will handle it, we just need to get in somehow.

6. The rye bread should actually be rye, not colored white bread, not 50% rye, or rye-like, or any other such bullshit. I mean, this hasn't been a problem so far, but I thought I'd write it down anyway.
7. Margarine can stay, because there's simply no other option. If people complain too much about it, then we'll make everything with butter, and they can cough up 4000 a day for it. Then it won't be so important immediately.
8. Fruits. Let them be seasonal fruits. We'll still discuss this, because fruit sugar messes up the whole diet, so let's talk about it. I told Zsófi to look into this thoroughly.
9. LifeTILT Cottage Cheese Cream is good as it is. (Cooperation with Aldi suppliers, they have 0.1% cottage cheese, creamy and everything.)
10. Don't sweeten any soup, just like before. Use a sweetener. Obviously, I would be most happy with Stevia, but we can't raise prices that much, because there will still be crying. I have Stevia, we'll see what we can do about it.
11. Where needed, use coconut, rice, or almond milk.
12. We have to throw out pork, and ultimately Kriszti and I decided that pork loin can't stay either. I know it's good, but a lot of smartasses will nitpick about the loin. Chicken thigh also has to go, unless it's filleted.
13. These meats can go. Chicken breast fillet, turkey breast fillet, pullet. I definitely want rabbit too, but we'll see how that fits in.

14. African catfish, hake, tuna, possibly tilapia, but let's discuss this further. No fatty river fish or similar retarded counterparts.
15. No light mayonnaise or ketchup allowed, and the use of salt must be reduced to the absolute minimum. Mustard is fine, but if possible, Dijon mustard, but I'm not insisting on that.
16. Absolutely no regular pasta. Durum pasta, yes.
17. Let's forget about wild rice and brown rice. It's simply not tasty, it's hard, and there's so much trouble with it that I think we shouldn't serve it with anything. Let's also forget about regular rice; jasmine rice should be the base rice. Buckwheat, amaranth, maybe quinoa. Speaking of quinoa. We found quinoa for 3 dollars a kilo, but you have to order 10 tons of it. LOL. Let's not dismiss this possibility, because we could use it not only in FOOD. We could also distribute it ourselves, but I just said that.
18. Salads should always be mixed with kefir and balsamic vinegar.
19. No yogurt. Nowhere.
20. Side dishes must be reduced by 30%. Let's not change the weight of the meats.
21. We cannot use Vegeta for seasoning any dish.

These are the most important things. Let's get these done, and we'll handle the rest along the way. No one should communicate anything about the price increase, I'll take care of that. And tell Zsófi to try not to reply to emails like, five damn hours later, if possible."

As the list shows, we have made significant changes. And as for the prices. I will try to put it very simply. We have significantly improved the food, the ingredients, and the components. That's why we raised prices.

And one more thing.

The prices also include

income tax,

personal income tax,

employer contribution,

value-added tax,

pension contribution,

healthcare contribution,

local business tax,

employee contribution,

corporate tax,

courier fuel costs,

excise tax,

interest tax,

social security contribution,

sewage charge,

wages,

phone charges,

advertising costs,

environmental tax,

depreciation costs,

waste disposal fees,

electricity bill,

gas bill,

banking fees,

accountant's and employees' salaries, and God knows what other taxes.

Yes, this is Hungary today. And the biggest joke is that I easily left out 4-5 taxes, contributions, and costs that I can't even think of right now. So if someone tells me after all this that LifeTILT FOOD is expensive, then I say, for 2500 forints a day, you eat quality food five times a day, with such costs. Are we really expensive? Rather, we are insanely great kings to offer such good food as an alternative for this price.
