Yes, I agree. I feel the same way when I catch myself doing the same sort of thing on racial issues, for example, and feel like a jerk for doing so. I guess that as long as one is critical of ones own behaviour, and keeps trying to do better, one is trying to live up to Momo's standard.
Robots eating, or rather simulating eating, is an interesting question. For a very human-looking personal companion robot, the ability to simulate eating might help them blend in in a social environment, but potentially it might creep people out if the robot is still detectable as a robot. There is a scene in The Caves of Steel where Elijah Bailey and R. Daneel Olivaw "eat" together, and the robot Olivaw reveals that he simulates eating to blend in, storing the food in a teflon-plastic bag inside his torso that he empties later. Bailey is OK with that, though somewhat offended by the waste of food (Earth hovers on the brink of starvation in this book), but disgusted when Olivaw goes on to offer his ingested but clean, unchewed, and undigested food to him as an extra meal...
Is it cold in here?:
I think Momo's standard incorporates the duty of self-education.
Perfectly Reasonable:
Grind up the sugary food, and add water. Let the solids settle, then run the solution through a fuel cell.
Ping of "Megatokyo" eats and is able to derive energy from food sugars. She must do something like that.
PopuluxeCowboy:
Veronica's character has always been awesome, but she's really something special lately.

Imagine if it was May!

I don't think May would bake cookies, regardless of Momo's presence. :clairedoge:
