Artificial food made in the laboratory is the future, much better than
the rubbish we have to eat every day.
I predict that in 10 years, all food will be made from oil , in huge
factories.

You need to see the "The Yes Men" its a total hoot and all
true.. one clue..these guys actually presented a plan to the
food manufactures assn of america (or some such) all filmed..
an elaborate documentary showing that what one ate was only
20% assimilated...very nice power point show all the math
etc.. then how they could 'capture' that lost nutrient in the
sewer mains...and process it back to real food again... the
audience was taking all this in seriously even as pics of
sewer mains and toilets were shown... some only started to
show disgust when this stuff was pumped through a pattie
machine to make new 'burgers'...then not much digust at that,
as the profitabilty figures were shown, and it was explained
that this would sell well in 3rd world countries where people
were starving...
Then it was explained that waste from these burgers was only
60% nutrient so that the customer had a choice in price...he
could buy the stage one, two or third level..
This presentation was tried with university students
first...they began to react early but did not begin to hoot
and protest until this last stage was shown.
the corporation execs all applauded at the end of the
presentation and had a few questions...no ethics issues were
raised..
the film had many of these on close up camera the whole time.
Very interesting.. 'The Yes Men' no doubt is still playing in
some theaters.
another good movie on similar issues is "the corporation"
www.theyesmen.com or some such is their web site.

Sounds very reasonable. We know what we need, so as long as we get an
apetising mixture of this, fine. We will still eat lots of fresh
wholefoods, of course. Aren't there synthetic foods already?
BTW, what sort of oil?
