Whilst we agonize about the evils of monsatano et al., perhaps we
should conflate that issue with this issue which is slipping in
quietly under the radar, further robbing us of control over our food.

Food-processing giant Kraft Foods (United States) is one of these
pioneers. In 2000, it financed a consortium of 15 universities and
research laboratories, Nanotek, to design "smart" and personalized food,
food that might contain hundreds of nanocapsules, filled with different
flavors, nutrients and colors. A microwave oven could activate,
according to the wave frequency, such and such a capsule, according to
the consumer's desire - a kind of interactive food that may even
transform itself if a person is allergic to an ingredient or release a
dose of nutritional supplement if it detects deficiencies. Kraft Foods,
the designer of this project, owns the chocolate brands Milka, Cte dOr,
Toblerone, Suchard, and coffee brands Carte Noir, GrandMre, Jacques
Vabre and Maxwell. Imagine tomorrow, your pink-colored banana-flavored
coffee that delivers your daily dose of vitamin C ... Or chocolate that
releases carrot aromas as it treats your hangover. Terrific, no?

I just thought I'd pass along a couple of more sites that a previous
post provided.

The report, Out of the Laboratory and onto Our Plates: Nanotechnology in
Food and Agriculture, found nanomaterials in popular products and
packaging including Miller Light beer, Cadbury Chocolate packaging and
ToddlerHealth, a nutritional drink powder for infants sold extensively
at health food stores including WholeFoods.

Friends of the Earth's new report, "Out of the Laboratory and On To Our
Plates" finds that untested nanotechnology is being used in more than
100 food products, food packaging and contact materials currently on the
shelf, without warning or FDA testing.

Now it's a little more fair and balanced.
