[00:00.00]Food 

[00:01.51]Our diet might contain 

[00:03.92]some of the same foods 

[00:05.67]that we eat now. 

[00:07.20]Will we still use flour 

[00:09.50]to make a loaf of bread? 

[00:11.58]Maybe there will be ways 

[00:13.33]to preserve our food 

[00:14.75]so that bread never goes stale. 

[00:16.61]Will we still eat common food 

[00:19.79]combinations such as 

[00:21.54]liver and onions? 

[00:22.96]Will our favorite meal

[00:24.82]be roast beef or sausage 

[00:26.35]and be cooked with cabbage?  

[00:27.66]Will a typical breakfast menu 

[00:30.95]include toast and jam? 

[00:32.58]Maybe we will have a substitute 

[00:35.21]for butter which tastes good.

[00:37.29]Food might not be purchased 

[00:41.01]from a grocer or 

[00:42.43]from a supermarket. Instead, 

[00:45.16]as customers, we might 

[00:46.70]order our food, using 

[00:48.55]the internet and have it 

[00:50.30]delivered to our residences.  

[00:51.95]Maybe an automatic recorder

[00:54.79]would be placed when food 

[00:56.66]is removed from a refrigerator. 

[00:58.40]Preparation of food might 

[01:02.45]be eliminated but because 

[01:04.31]people enjoy eating, maybe 

[01:06.28]there will be the option of 

[01:07.92]nourishing our bodies through food 

[01:10.11]or using some other means. 

[01:11.64]Perhaps a series of pills 

[01:15.36]will provide adequate nourishment¹. 

[01:18.09]Fruits such as grapes, peaches 

[01:21.49]or pears might still be available 

[01:24.12]in several forms such as 

[01:25.97]frozen or dried for our consumption. 

[01:28.38]Candy would be difficult 

[01:31.00]to give up for anyone 

[01:32.54]who enjoys eating sweets. 

[01:33.74]Pie for dessert is a favorite

[01:36.59]with some people and 

[01:38.12]maybe a way will be found 

[01:39.65]to produce a pie 

[01:41.40]that tastes good and yet 

[01:42.93]will be a healthy food 

[01:44.02]for us to eat. 

[01:45.88]A hot bowl of soup 

[01:47.96]not only nourishes but also 

[01:49.60]comforts people and we 

[01:51.68]would not want to relinquish² that. 

[01:53.76]Protein sources that have not been 

[01:57.26]used before will become evident.

[01:59.35]Provision of a ham and 

[02:02.07]cheese sandwich for lunch 

[02:03.83]might be available through

[02:05.36]a special appliance that 

[02:06.89]takes our food order and 

[02:08.43]prepares the food and 

[02:09.63]delivers it to us.

[02:11.16]Icecream could be made, 

[02:14.00]with the option of 

[02:15.43]using either artificial sweetener 

[02:16.73]or sugar. Will we fry foods

[02:19.80]like bacon and steak

[02:21.33]or will we be able

[02:22.97]to cook them by other means? 

[02:24.83]We could combine foods 

[02:27.24]such as peas and carrots 

[02:28.66]with garlic to gain 

[02:30.52]an abundant supply of 

[02:32.06]vitamins from one dish.
