It's a ritual as old as civilization: hunt and gather, cook, masticate, repeat. Like everything else, though, the primal act of eating real food is under siege. Celebrity cyborgs dismiss traditional meals as a wasteful indulgence, and dream of a dystopian diet that's as grim as it is efficient.
This review has the usual hipper-than-thou slams against manufactured food. It also has -- a surprise considering the Wired demographic -- gratuitous dissing of
