Nanotechnology is making its way to the dinner table. "The processed-food giant Kraft and a group of research laboratories are busy working towards 'programmable food'. One product they are working on is a colourless, tasteless drink that you, the consumer, will design after you've bought it. You'll decide what colour and flavour you'd like the drink to be, and what nutrients it will have in it, once you get home. You'll zap the product with a correctly-tuned microwave transmitter - presumably Kraft will sell you that, too."

Say what? That is totally insane. What's wrong with regular food? I'm not so sure that just because something IS possible we should be doing it.

    • Suddenly, I'm not very hungry. This sounds like a bad idea.

      "And there is already a prototype of a Wonka-esque chewing gum that, using nano-capsules, promises the sensation of eating real chocolate."

      You know what else promises the "sensation of eating real chocolate"? Eating real chocolate.

      This makes Woody's Milky Way sound damn good!

    • Krap is bad enough without nanobots. Why would anyone pay extra for food that can change into whatever you want, when you can get whatever you want already....

    • Check out Heston Blumenthal, his restaurant has been voted in the World's Top 2 for his fascinating approach to cooking.

      Blending ingredients and science, Heston is renowned for unusually prepared dishes, from his snail porridge to his 4 day roast dinner!
