Food and NOT Food
Submitted by My Garden Spot Blog
I got an email from Discover magazine the other day. I’ve been a subscriber for a while, but this was the first email/e-posting version I’d ever seen. The links to the articles they sent were interesting in general, but one caught my attention like no other.
It seems that there are actually “scientists” out there who think that you don’t really need food to survive, oh, no! Instead, they’re advocating better living through chemicals. They’ve made a complete “meal” that has no real food in it at all.
Seriously, y’all. Click the link. You are not going to believe what they came up with…
McDonald’s suddenly looks like health food. Talk about an appetite suppressant, I think I’ve found the ultimate one. I could not live on something that had NO connection with anything grown. It is just…insane.
The only way this synthetic food could be any realistically acceptable alternative to.. well, REAL FOOD, is if you’re stuck on a space ship with nothing else to eat. Even then, I suspect a crew on this kind of diet would probably have a high suicide rate. That is, if the “food” didn’t kill them first.
Pardon me while I get the shudders out…
