I have food pretty much automated using a combination of an electric stacking steamer and automatic chopping/grating machines. It's pretty amazing how much simple, precomputer, technology can do for you if you are disciplined and creative.
It has a round cheeze gratter and slicer which is turned by an incredibly powerful and slow motor, and whatever it is you wanted sliced or grated can simply be cramed into the thing. It has a number of attachments, including a dough mixer that is actually powerfull enough to work (and to break your arm if you're stupid). The grating/slicing attachment has an outspout and I either put the steamer tray under it or a pot.
