Nanotech is the future, the distant future, but a very bright and interesting time to live in.

Besides all the new nano-materials, I am interested in nano-food production. Remember the food pills? something like that. World hunger would be over.

And before someone jumps in to say it would taste like plastic food, I say, what would stop us from adding the best flavors in the world to the nano-pills?




After thought: If we can produce food in a factory from its basics atoms, like we process gasoline today in refineries, I guess all farms in the world would be useless so we could recover all that land for human living.


I'm sure there will always be people who distrust nanofood or otherwise are willing to pay a premium for organically grown food.
