I just read about this new food sharing coop in New York called Mealku... it sounded pretty awesome!

<< The online reservation system allows members to post portions of meals that they will be cooking within three days. Other members sign up to receive them no more than 40 minutes after the food is ready. ...

No money is exchanged. Mealku uses a point system with members earning points when they post a food portion and when someone reserves it. Points are deducted when they order a portion.

Membership is free, but eventually Mealku plans to start charging a monthly fee plus a delivery charge to pay for bike messengers, recyclable food bags and other things. >>

Would you ever participate in a food-sharing coop?
