Eventually we will become too lazy to eat

Today at the store I came across this:

Let us trace our progression of American human laziness on its downward spiral:

(Pre-1) Long ago, because the television was invented, we used to grind our own flour, raise our own chickens to lay eggs, milk our own cows to get milk and butter, tap maple trees to get syrup, etc., and enjoy a special treat of pancakes.

(1) We used to make our own pancakes by mixing flour, egg, milk, baking powder, butter, etc., etc.,  we had purchased as individual ingredients from the store.

(2) Then, when this became to taxing for the jet age, companies developed pancakes mixes in a box, although we were still responsible for reconstituting them with some fresh components.

(3) Then, when this itself became too much of a burden, companies hydrolyzed or evaporated everything down to where your only job was to pour out some of this pancake mix, still in a box, and add water.

(4) But even this became too much effort to have to wash a mixing bowl and liquid measuring cup afterwards, so we created a plastic bottle half full of pancake mix, leaving enough room to add water to the top, shake, and dispense.  This plastic bottle is likely not refillable, and I doubt if purchasers, except for the crafty ones, are turning the empty bottles into hydroponic planters or decorative mobiles to hang in the baby's room.

(4+) I recognize there are already pre-made pancakes you pop in your toaster, but at least (1) through (3) above partially reduced some of the guilt of not being an actual parent.  At the point we have made it impossible for a 4-year-old not to be able to prepare "pancake batter", we have eliminated the need for parents entirely.

(5) If only we could somehow make it possible for this plastic bottle to be microwaveable, and every few plate rotations spit out another finished "pancake worm".  What is that, you say, the Crocker people are already hard at work elminating all remaining taste, nutrition, and reason for getting up before 9:00 a.m. from our lives?  

(6) Oh brave new world, where at night you take a pill of superconcentrated pancake batter, which enzymes in your stomach slowly turn into pancakes at body temperature, and then your body digests and enjoys them by the time you are ready for school in the morning.  Lots more time and energy for protest marches.
