Scientists see risks and benefits in nano foods

(Reuters) - "In a taste of things to come, food scientists say they have cooked up a way of using nanotechnology to make low-fat or fat-free foods just as appetizing and satisfying as their full-fat fellows.

The implications could be significant in combating the spread of health problems such as obesity, diabetes and heart disease."

While this really good article is mostly positive concerning nanotechnology and food, it does present some concerns. I don't mind presenting both sides of the debate. I believe it is good for us to consider both sides. At the same time, I believe any and all problems will be worked out and "nanofood" will happen. There's just too much technology and too much determination and investment. Here's the link to the article.
