Agree with Sara

I agree with Sara's comment about the future of food. While the possiblities seem interesting, I just don't think that a pill or any other form of food substitution will ever be able to replace our concept of food. Eating is an experience that provides us with much more than just nutrients. It's a social event...it's comfort, and many other things to other people. But the emotional aspect of food is part of the weight problem we as a nation face today. So this made me think of an interesting question: If food was replaced by a pill, would this relieve the weight issues many people face? Or would this do the opposite? Could people really get that comfort they're often looking for from a pill? Could you "over-eat" on pills? Just an interesting thought.
