when you make a reservation at sushi singularity, you will be given a health kit through which

to submit biological samples. On the website, it describes these as DNA, urine, and intestinal tests,

but I don't think they're actually making you do all of that for, say, one visit to the restaurant.

The website is laying this out as a model for the future of food, in which all people would

already have established health IDs consisting of that information. The mock-up they have of the health kit looks more like it's probably just a saliva test.
