			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>My biggest fear in life is that a lot of the cool inventions and advancements in technology prevalent in science fiction won&#8217;t happen in my life time.  But it seems like and early version of <a href="http://memory-alpha.org/en/wiki/Food_synthesizer">food</a> <a href="http://memory-alpha.org/en/wiki/Food_replicator">replicators</a> <a href="http://fluid.media.mit.edu/projects.php?action=details&#038;id=79">may be in the works</a>:</p>
<blockquote><p>
Cornucopia is a concept design for a personal food factory that brings the versatility of the digital world to the realm of cooking. In essence, it is a three dimensional printer for food, which works by storing, precisely mixing, depositing and cooking layers of ingredients.
</p></blockquote>
<p>This would go well with a glass of <a href="http://www.temporaldisruption.com/2009/12/27/scientists-developing-synthehol/">synthehol</a>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Looks like British scientists are <a href="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/health/healthnews/6874884/Alcohol-substitute-that-avoids-drunkenness-and-hangovers-in-development.html">developing synthehol</a>:</p>
<blockquote><p>The synthetic alcohol, being developed from chemicals related to Valium, works like alcohol on nerves in the brain that provide a feeling of wellbeing and relaxation.</p>
<p>But unlike alcohol [it] does not affect other parts of the brain that control mood swings and lead to addiction. It is also much easier to flush out of the body.</p>
<p>Finally because it is much more focused in its effects, it can also be switched off with an antidote, leaving the drinker immediately sober.</p></blockquote>
<p>For those of you not fluent in nerd, <a href="http://memory-alpha.org/en/wiki/Synthehol">synthehol</a> is an alcohol substitute, first appearing in Star Trek: The Next Generation, that &#8220;appears to have the same taste and smell as &#8216;real&#8217; alcohol to most individuals, but none of the deleterious effects associated with alcohol for most humanoids, such as debilitating intoxication, addiction, and alcohol poisoning&#8221;.</p>
