What will food be like a few hundred years from now?

Question

If you go back a few hundred years, food has come a very long way. Many staples of today didn't exist back then thanks to advances in technology, and the nutritional value and general cleanliness of what we eat has improved.

What measures are either being worked on, or do you anticipate for the future to make our eating experiences healthier and more efficient? Do you ultimately see some kind of pill or synthesized "meal" coming out that gives us the nutrients we need most?

Appreciate all thoughts.

Answer 1

I think food will be better and good for our health.

Answer 2

Good question.

Personally, I hope food won't change that much except for the discovery of more interesting vegetables or fruits. After all, oranges were fairly "new" curiosities in the 14th century and for centuries, tomatoes were considered poisonous.

Given the tendency that "everything old is new again", I predict (wait, let me get my crystal ball) that there will be an interest in preparing and cooking food in "the old-fashioned way", using wood-fired ovens (already in use in many restaurants) and going back to the way Grandma cooked.

Of course, by then a microwave oven will be old-fashioned.

Now you've given me "food for thought". Many thanks.

Bon Apetit!

Answer 3

I am a chef and I think that there will always be a need for chefs. There's always something about a home cooked meal. There may well be substances sold as "food pills" U.S. Calvary sells these as part of a survivalist catalog. People evolved with a tongue so we can taste. Why give up one of our senses?
These alternatives will come into being but, will only to be used as a supplement for an ever increasingly on-the-go lifestyle.

Answer 4

I think that we will allbe able to grow our own vegetables and fruit in time factors that we choose, one fresh peach every second day, and they will have evolved so much we wont need to eat animal protien ( and animal disease)+(and we wont have the luxury of space to keep animals) a return to community focus and use foods that are grown and manufactured with a100km radius of where we live

Answer 5

Well it looks like the space industry has had there hand in it already. They like the food so maybe not too bad. Still love a glass of water no matter what!!!

Answer 6

I think they'll make it heathy food taste much better. Or maybe they make something to put in mouth before eating to make ur taste buds taste something good that really isn't. Who knows we'll find out in a hundred years

Answer 7

hopefully in 100 years McDonald's will be out of business and people will be living much healthier ( not just McDonald's all fast food restaurants.... just to clarify big chain fast food ones that use processed food not mom and pop stores that make everything fresh)

Answer 8

Every food will be available in a synthetic form, like vitamins and medication. There won't be any cavaties in the teeths, because nobody will be actually chewing their foods anymore.

Answer 9

the two in a pill sort that looks like we auctaly drank or ate something without delay as we put in our mouth, fairly healthful or fairly undesirable occasion: hen Fried Pizza wraped with Baron Verulam and smothered in Lard

Answer 10

hopefully we'll have spray food like in phil of the future or maybe they will have a whole meal in a piece of gum, like willy wonka and the chocolate factory
