Remember Alton Brown's admonitions against unitaskers such as THESE?
One of them (#6 - the "Mocubo") looks innocent enough, but makes me wonder how many home cooks will cut up a bunch of veggies, put them into the below-the-cutting-board drawers and then cut up raw meat on the same board. What worries me is not the obvious potential for cross-contamination on the board, itself - that is always possible with any board, but rather the potential for cross-contamination with veggies in the drawers as meat juices inevitably roll down the front of the board and into the veggie drawers. There are plenty of other reasons the product wouldn't make sense: What if you need to cut more veggies than the drawer capacities? If it's supposed to help with counter space, why not just get stackable food-storage containers? You could get a lot of those for the money you'd spend on the Mocubo (and it only has three drawers, anyway).

If blueberry muffins have blueberries in them, what do vegan muffins have?
