meet tastes great and all, but I wonder where science is at (if at all) on making original food that tastes good. How about food that doesn't taste like any natural food we've had, but still tastes really good?

Jell-o (gello?) is a good example, nothing tastes like it naturally. Why aren't there tasty food that are original in terms of taste and texture but good for health and the environment? I suppose part of the struggle is that food is entrenched into culture so much. burgers and bbq are inextricable from july 4th and memorial day for example.

Remember the target audience - people would rather drink and die from raw milk than get a shot for a completely preventable sickness.

I have all my shots and drink pasteurized milk, and I prefer familiar chicken-like substances over experimental cuisine.
