This is another genius idea from the NY Times science editor. He predicted that by the 21st century, all food would be delivered to our homes in the form of frozen bricks. Gone are the days of cooking meals. All we’d have to do is reheat these slabs, and we’d have an elaborate meal of several courses.

As well, due to advances in culinary tech, we’d be able to turn old table linens and “rayon underwear” and bring them to special factories, to be turned into candy.

Pass on that.
