we’d ship in lunch and probably two to three times a week the lunch had maggots in it

Can't continue reading past this. They were ordering food from a place that 2-3x a week delivered maggots? Please.

It raises questions about everything else he says.

Chamath wasn't in charge of the food. I'm sure he told the relevant person within the company and I'm pretty certain that problem didn't last very long.

It's not just that. A place serving maggots several times a week simply does not exist. At least not in the developed world. Or even in the US.

More than once is too long.

I worked at Facebook back when food was a problem. We didn't quite have maggots 2-3x a week but we did have maggots more than once. We used a lot of different caterers but quality was a persistent issue. Randi actually handled a lot of the food services back then.

Corporate catering has evolved a lot since 2007 and there are a lot of better product offerings now for startups to use.
