I will be happy to explain or show the kitchens where it is made. Freezing is the best conservation process. Better than that, just fresh. But nowadays nothing is fresh. So many times I buy fruit in supermarket and then I have to throw it out because tastes nothing. That never happens with our meals. Hi,

Actual mechanical boxes that output nourishing foods and drink. This is genius. This + RepRap/FabLab + added chemicals => automated robot human harvesters. Humanity's doom spelled out in garish lettering! With bad food photographs. Machines! Actual mechanical boxes that output nourishing foods and drink. This is genius.

I take the subway everyday and I have never seen anyone use them. Yep, I was wondering the same thing just the other day… who the hell eats stuff from those machines.

OMG! I have this science fiction picture in my head of a box where beans and cows go in one end and feijoada comes out the other, although I suspect it's really more like a fridge full of <a href="http://www.flickr.com/search/?q=mre&w=all" rel="nofollow">MREs</a>...
