We ate some weird s**t in 2016. A person born in the year 1000 AD definitely wouldn’t comprehend a Dorito. He certainly wouldn’t understand why kids love the taste of Cinnamon Toast Crunch, and if you showed him a Twinkie, he’d probably burn you at the stake. But the way things are headed, our food is bound to get a lot weirder.
Scientific research doesn’t just bring us more convenient and cheaper food options, but the hope of overcoming sustainability issues, too. The meat industry plays a huge role in climate change—around 10 percent of America’s total greenhouse gas emissions came from the agriculture sector in 2014, with almost a third of that climate-warming carbon attributed to methane from cattle, according to the Environmental Protection Agency. Meanwhile, Earth’s population is growing fast, and many are fretting about how to feed the 9 billion people who will be inhabiting the planet in 2050.
Here are some foods that scientists and companies are tinkering with today, which are poised to make a showing on dinner plates or in lunch boxes in the not-so-distant future....

Earlier this week, I came across a reference to a SPAM-flavored Dorito or other snack consumable. Must have been local to HI.
Foods I see taking off:
* bug powder as cheap added protein
* mass produced vat meat
* vegetarian alternatives especially Quorn from fungus
* genetically engineered fish that doesn’t require fishing from the ocean for their feed
The interesting things to solve that include putting 1% seaweed in the cow’s diet to reduce gas production and studying the bacteria in kangaroo’s guts to make cow digestion more efficient.
I read all of Churchill’s “History of World War II”.
One thing which struck me as surprising was when they were having extreme problems supplying Malta. Churchill suggested to the military that maybe they could just parachute vitamins to them.
Someone had to explain to him that you can’t survive on just vitamins. At least he was thinking outside the box.
I was just thinking the same. I'm likely to be taking a nice dirt nap.
We already have that:
You and me both!
I think a lot of the produce and meats are now "engineered" and full of additives. Other than that, the recipes for plain "American" home cooking have stayed remarkably consistent:
I thought SPAM named for shoulder parts and ham.
I always thought it was from “Spiced Ham”.
I remember Nikita Khrushchev saying that he would have starved in WWII if it were not for SPAM.
Somewhere, sometime, I read/heard/was told that SPAM was short for spiced ham” ???
Been there, done that...
You’ve never combined Steak-Ums and bacon?
It’s GREAT!!!!

Um...no.
Specially Processed Artificial Meat
Should have been: SPECIFICALLY, People And Humans.
When today? Do I got time for more napping?
Same with me. When I read climate change BS. I’ve read enough.
Lots of time, it’s next Saturday.
