Bill Gates and Jeff Bezos launched NutriPrime+, a $299-a-month meal service that requires a $3,000 smart fridge with biometrics and blockchain to unlock food. They vowed to disrupt starvation with “innovative technology solutions” and “dignity through commerce.” The demo, held at Gates’s $127 million estate over $40 quinoa bowls, featured a fridge that dispenses one hard‑boiled egg after users confirm Prime status. “Hunger is a distribution problem with UX issues,” Gates said. Bezos nodded while the fridge asked for a voice password. Food banks reported odd calls about “freemium models,” premium food tiers, and Dogecoin donations. “They asked if our volunteers had AWS certifications,” said Maria Santos, a Seattle food bank director. A Columbia researcher flagged a deck slide titled “Monetizing Malnutrition” targeting “underserved communities with disposable income and smart homes.” An unemployed man quipped he’d love a fridge that judges him. A spokesperson said he’s not the target demo and teased DisruptHousing. The duo pledged to live on NutriPrime+ for a week in the Maldives, pending grid upgrades in developing nations to power the fridge network.
