The work toward this kind of 'ready to eat' food has already started, with companies selling things like https://mealsquares.com/ https://mealsquares.com/ or https://jimmyjoy.com/ https://jimmyjoy.com/.
The zeitgeist seems to be about going back to more natural food though, at least in my circles.
The underlying fear is that what is sold as 'nutritionally complete' food is actually incomplete, but that we don't know enough about nutrition yet to notice it : so the best strategy is to keep a tried and true diet, like a Mediterranean diet.
- cwp 5y agoYeah, that is a completely well-founded fear and undoubtedly true in the short term. Living on nothing but meal squares or Soylent would be a bad idea. But I don't imagine anyone would have to do that. Nor do I imagine that synthetic food would have to be nutritionally complete; it'd just be designed with a specific purpose rather than being the byproduct of some organism's survival strategy.
