Personally I think the meaning is exactly what it says it is. I think it's just commenting on how everything of worth or depth is cheapened these days, and sped up to keep up with the fast-paced world we inhabit.
Food is used as the main example here, so let's go with that. Has anyone else seen those commercials for the microwavable pasta bowls? The one where it shows a flashback to Italy and an old woman spending hours to make homemade noodles and sauce for her amazing pasta. The scene then cuts to her granddaughter pulling a plastic bowl full of instant noodles out of her microwave, "Now I can have delicious pasta just like grandma used to make, in just five easy minutes!"
Just a slightly sarcastic comment on how the heart and soul is ripped from everything to make it faster, cheaper, and more accessible to people who aren't deep enough to get it in its original form. Pretty simple.
