Personal
Taste When you're over the hill, that's when you pick up speed. I think everybody has a right to happiness and freedom and security and health care and education and to be a genius to play a fool.
Our ability to manipulate the sensory components of foods- the tastes, smells and textures- is improving by leaps and bounds .In the decades to come, this will allow us to maximize eating pleasure by matching flavor with nutrition to a degree we’ve never known before.
Personal health and personal taste are equally solvable. In other words, we’ll be able to improve the quality of existing foods, and create entirely new
foods that meet individual nutritional
needs and preferences. Restaurants will have a field day.
Say you've had a rough morning at the office and need a relaxing lunch. You might like something with the creaminess of an ice-cream cone. But what if you also crave the heartiness and nourishment of chicken instead of only the sweetness of
ice -cream? A food-assembly system will allow you to combine these elements into a new food.
If all this sounds a little too sci-fi to you, relax. Yes, science will continue to coax the best out of food, trying to improve taste and nutrition. But science can't replace the social, sensual aspects of eating and sharing a meal. Those needs can't be scanned, replicated or retrieved, even by the most elaborate food-assembly system imaginable-and they will never disappear.
One day, you’ll be able to eat anything and still look great. In labs and research centers around the world, scientists are racing to match our genes and our taste buds , creating the perfect diet that will fight disease, increase longevity, boost physical and mental performance, and taste great to boot .The
food we like the most will be the most healthy for us
