Electronic Spoon Makes Food Taste Sweeter

A new invention called “The Tasty Buddy” emits a low-level electrical current that activates certain taste buds, so that your tongue perceives it to be varying levels or sweet or salty. This is a huge game changer, and I predict “smart spoons” will be the norm in homes within ten years. Think about the implications of this for a moment. Americans consume far, far too much sugar (diabetes) and salt (heart problems). Now imagine you have a magical spoon that you can adjust to make plain oatmeal or quinoa taste like ice cream, or add zing to raw broccoli. When this becomes the norm for consumers, eating healthy quits being about avoiding delicious foods which are bad for you and pivots to finding nutritious foods you can modify with an electric spoon.
