Loneliness of the elderly. Community canteens can free women from the tedious chores of cooking. Shopping for three meals a day, cooking and cleaning up the kitchen takes a lot of energy, is cumbersome and has no social value. With community canteens, office workers will have regular meals and no longer need to order takeout in the morning and evening. Students do not need to be shuttled home eight times a day to eat or go to a small dining table. Community canteens can open convenient express trains.

For the elderly, there are safety risks when buying food and cooking.

1. It is easy to have disputes with the vegetable seller when buying vegetables, and it is easy to fall when going up and down stairs, especially when it is windy, rainy, snowy and hazy, and it is even more unsafe to cross the road.

2. The elderly have memory loss and tend to forget the dishes in the pot. It is a trivial matter to burn the pot and leak it, but it is an irreversible disaster to cause gas leakage and fire.

3. Young people feel tired when shopping for groceries and cooking, let alone the elderly.

4. There are more and more elderly people living alone. They often suffer from having no one to chat with. Community canteens can allow them to chat while eating.

Community canteens are beneficial to the physical and mental health of the elderly. It would be great if they were popularized. Nowadays, the aging of society is very serious. Most people born in the 60s and 70s only have one child and currently live alone. As they gradually move towards old age, eating has become a problem for the elderly, and community canteens will inevitably become a trend.
