This Ice Cream Will Make you Healthier
Abstract:
Steve Boggan has written an excellent article today in the Guardian on nanotechnology and its implications in the industrial food market. The first five paragraphs are as good a primer on nanotech as you're likely to find—send this one to your mom if she has any questions. The rest of the article is a closer look at its future in our food supply, particularly in light of consumers' recent widespread distaste for genetically modified goods. The bottom line: the industry is outwardly hopeful about the technology's promise, but inwardly cautious about the public response. Oh, and we have no idea what it'll do to us when we eat it.
