It is a pity that you have never seen trees so green,

water so clear and blue,

strawberries that taste so sweet…

All you have ever known is a reddish foggy sky and this kind of dry cardboard that you eat for survival

Evolution of Food

In the past, food for human consisted of vegetation and plants. However, as human start to encounter more animals or in attempts to fight off animals for survival, animal meat slowly became part of the diet.

After the invention of fire, raw meat was cooked and due to the killing of bacteria by high temperature, meat became safer for consumption and hence more popular.

With the invention of refrigerator and ways to preserve food, it was possible to keep both meat and vegetables for a longer period of time.

With the invention and improvement of transport systems, food are created in huge quantities and distributed all over the world, which is why we have such a huge variety of food to choose from nowadays.

GM Food

Genetically modified food is produced in an attempt to increase food supply by increasing the rate of growth and resistance of crops to ensure the reliability of food supply. These are the pros. However the cons of GM food also involve the fact that since food has been genetically modified, it is not natural. It has been linked to the cause of illness eg. Breast Cancer.

At the end of the day, so some people doubt the safety of consuming such food, where the harmful effects may only be shown in the far future, or even in the next few generations.

Instant Food

When we talk about Instant food, the first thing that comes to many people’s mind is instant cup noodles, the savior of many poor students’ stomach during while studying in the wee hours of the morning.

 

With the advancement of technology, food is dried and made more compact for easier and cheaper storage and delivery. Such packet food are commonly consumed in the army (Video of army food) or distributed to people who are in need of food after natural disasters.

As people start falling sick and dying due to environmental factors, stress and the food they eat, more emphasis has been placed on the food that we bring into our body. Protein shakes, vitamin pills, turmeric pills, garlic pills are trending as people start to look at food as a way to produce the results they want, eg, bigger muscles, better immune system or slimmer body.

Diets are popping up

Eg. The raw food diet where people only eat food that is not heated to ensure that the enzymes in the food are not killed, going back to the times of how their ancestors eat

Vitamins and Nutritious Food

People are starting to consume Vitamin A, B, C, D as they realize they may not be consuming enough from their daily diet. People who are sick are also trying an holistic range of healing which include consuming multivitamins and nutritious food.

What if in the future, food is also created in a compact liquid or solid powder?

In the movie Soylent Green, real food like strawberry jam or spinach are luxury item, while the poor can only afford soylent, which look like cracker. (Spoilers: The source of the food soylent is actually human – to solve the overpopulation issues of aging society – environmentally friendly? But is it really safe for consumption with people taking all kinds of drugs etc…)

Spirulina

One superfood that looks like it is going to be the food of the future is Siprulina. It is a natural food with the perfect source of balanced nutrition.

Spirulina had already gained recognition as a powerful functional food since 1974.

United Nations World Food Conference calls it the best food of the future and the World Health Organization classify it as a superfood.

Personally, I take Elken organic Spirulina tablet as a diet supplement. Some consume it to lose weight, gain weight (for me), improve health, detoxification, to supplement healing process. For some cancer patients, due to the inability of their body to absorb nutrients from food as their body has become too weak, they take extra spirulina tablets.

Basically, we consume food, ranging from rice, potato, carbs, to junk food. However, how much nutrient are we really getting?

Consuming 30 spirulina tablets is equivalent to eating 160 oranges, the daily required intake of  RDA of Beta-Carotene

The concentration of B-carotene in Spirulina is 40-60 times higher than those found in spinach and 25 times higher than those found in carrots.
1 tablet of Spirulina = 1 kg of cabbage
1 tablet of Spirulina = 18 apples

According to http://www.urbanhealth.com.my/food/spirulina-the-superfood/, 

Not only does spirulina solves malnutrition, it also improves cholesterol level and health in general, check out the next post for more info! 🙂
