Canozanism

About 15 years ago, I heard a phrase from a friend who purchased goods for restaurants: “cheaper than free.” At that time, since tomatoes, house rent, and cars were not as exorbitantly expensive as they are today, I did not know that a food product had costs that accrued over time, such as storage expenses and spoilage if it remained unsold. I remember telling my family the next day about what I had learned that night, saying that one day in the future, individual purchases would be much more expensive than commercial bulk purchases, and for this reason, ongoing needs such as nutrition and cleaning would be handled by companies.

Today, especially in large cities, there are companies that provide breakfast, lunch, dinner, and even snack services to homes, delivering them to you at any time of the day you choose. It is a simple scientific fact that for a human body to be scientifically healthy, it needs to consume many types of food in small amounts and continuously. It is another fact of life that for us to buy, store, and prepare balanced meals, salads, and soups from all these types of food on an individual or family basis, we would have to quit our jobs and devote all our time to this. It is also very clear that eating in a healthy and balanced way—that is, under expert supervision—will have a positive effect on human intelligence, energy, psychology, and physical health, and will increase efficiency and productivity. Wouldn't a fit person produce more, add material and spiritual value to themselves and society, get sick less often, and, for example, create less cost for the Ministry of Health?

A client to whom I explained the public housing plan I mentioned in my article titled Time for a Revolution in Urban Transformation said that I was talking about socialism. As someone born in 1991, I cannot know what dreams people had decades ago or how much they got caught up in them. However, even Putin is fed up with those days, and as a litmus test, I would like to say this: if even the Germans couldn't make something work, it is not a useful thing.

I call the subject I explained in the Urban Transformation article, and which I exemplified in this article specifically regarding nutrition/food, Canozanism. I am not asking for any copyright or usage rights from anyone. It is a word I just made up to keep my name alive, which essentially means bearing the entire cost of whatever we are going to do together and benefiting from the fruits together. In other words, I am talking about buying a single Dyson for a 10-apartment building instead of 10, using it together, and thus avoiding taking it for maintenance 10 times, spending time on the same thing 10 times, burning gas, and receiving the service of the same product for one-tenth of the price.

As I explained above, there are companies that prepare and serve the meals you will eat all day, and you can pay them and work with them. However, I did not do my military service in the army of these companies, I do not remember the names of these companies being mentioned in the Student Oath, and I do not pay my taxes to these companies. I believe that everything related to the public is communal and under the responsibility of the state.

I am aware that the places called City Restaurants (Kent Lokantası) are the old charitable foundations funded by taxpayers, the soup kitchens of the new era. I also want to say that a populist leader should not open charitable foundations, but should build water channels and bring water to their city. For this reason, I demand that municipalities claiming to be populist both create island-based projects in urban transformation (and specifically in Maltepe, return the +2 floors that the Maltepe and IMM Assemblies conspired to seize) and establish cheap and clean food supply, production, and distribution facilities prepared under the supervision of nutritionists for this mass nutrition system, and be worthy of the populist cadres who established the public bread (Halk Ekmek) and whom they supposedly see as their own. However; if they manage to do what I say, when the public, whose hunger is satisfied and whose mind is restored, opens their eyes, neither the İzmir March nor Atatürk posters will save them, let me say that in advance.
