Fast food & microwave dinners are a form of industrialized kitchens but not the only one it can take. You can also have centralized factories that produce thousands of boxed lunches per day. Japan does this with ekiben for example.
Cooking is a part of domestic labor. It takes up free time out of work, it's unpaid, its workers tend to be women, and it's individual instead of socialized labor. Everyone ought to be able to cook for themselves if they want, but automation and collectivization of cooking (and the domestic sector in general) is desirable.
It kind of exists in Japan, but not in America. There's a large bento market there, so they have genuine factories that produce them. This one ekiben factory produces 2,000 onigiris and 8,000 bentos per day, for instance. Ekiben are usually somewhere around ¥1000. Food in Japan is cheaper than America in general. Although I think wages are lower too? Also they have a lot of vending machines. So as to why their food industry is the way it is, I have no idea. In the Soviet Union, their solution to the cooking problem was cafeterias.
Liberals have to reject liberal revolutions because upholding the values of those revolutions to their logical extent just leads you down to socialism. Liberalism is ahistorical and has been since at least 1871.

Even this hypothetical ignores that the human body runs into so many potential ailments in advanced age. Of course if you just kill everyone before that happens...
Lots of clichés but still pretty fun. Thanks for the recommendation lol
