Where’s my food replicator?"

We Were Promised… Our flying cars arebarely getting off the ground(or they’re, you know, planes).

3D food printers are a thing, but barely.

Perhaps it’s all for the better.

Too Fast Food?

Having instant access to literally any food you’re able to think of is a potential disaster.

It always amazed me that the Enterprise managed to function with a food replicator onboard.

Even the most advanced smart kitchens out there still require you to actuallyprepare the food yourself.

It’s always better when food has to be earned.

If it’s not through hunting and scavenging, a trip to the grocery store will suffice.
