on infomercial type products

[kossai]

wish there was less kneejerk instinct to laugh about " silly " gadgets and products .
so many times , product is assistive device for particular kind of disabled person . someone with only one functional hand , someone with tremor , with weak grip , so on and so forth .

not everyone can live with others around to help always , and should not have to if only need help in specific areas .
likewise , not fair should have to wait for someone else to come around and do these things that would be easy with tools to accommodate . imagine just try to eat , but not have enough of ingredients ready after all , and can not ask anyone for help for 3 more days .

even if feel urge is just to laugh at how companies market these products , please keep purpose in mind and do not veer into laugh at " silly , lazy people " .

addendum as of september 13 2024 :
this is also very true for foods which come pre-cut and in package , like orange slices lay out on tray . of course would be very nice to not need so much plastic in these applications ! but remove without provide alternative is not worth starve out disabled people .
