What I wanna know is - why can't someone make ALL food - not just protein - into pills? That would be just SO much easier and less time-consuming. Somehow get all the stuff that real food gives you, plus some extra added benefits, (like satiety) and, whammo!, fast food is redefined!
Now that would surely cut down on some O-C tendencies food-wise, solve the world's food distribution problems, improve energy demand problems (no more retail/end-user refridgerators!), cut motor-vehicle-created atmospheric pollution ... so many changes.
Wow, it would redefine half the world's economy! Think of all the time it free up, too!
Mmm - time to start studying up on nutriceutical design and production. Remember - you heard it here first!
