Electronic cuisine

Abstract

As citizens of the world, we acknowledge that electronic technological gadgetry has become pervasive. Technology, like other sectors of our economy, reinforces our shopping instinct and consumer culture, and it is a catalyst for the growth of capital. The original consumer goods are now edible products of a food production and distribution system, a system that has evolved into the contemporary global food supply chain, a semi-automated system that allows suppliers to electronically track food shipments from farms to processing facilities and distribution centers to restaurants and stores to our homes.
