The news this morning indicated that emulsifiers (a common additive in processed foods) lead to digestive disorders and obesity.
Science is clearly chipping-away at our staples.
So a guy was in the shop with his approx. 6-8 year old daughter at about noon. The daughter asks if they can go to McDonalds next. He says, "no, we can't eat any processed foods, they make us fat." So clearly he had seen the same news story. And we got to talking about it.
So I looked at his daughter and asked "no carbs, no emulsifiers, whatever can we eat?" I was expecting something like "vegetables" or something.
And without hesitation she said, "we can eat people."
And that, my friends, is the path to Soylent Green.
If I hear of any food projects at Google or Apple, I'm going to be very suspicious.
