If it is true that you are what you eat, as the old adage has it, then what does that

that make us?

As consumers have heavily processed, chemically treated, GMO-infested gunk.

We in the modern developed world have solved the problem of hunger that plagued our forebearers since time immemorial

by handing our food sovereignty over to a handful of corporate conglomerates.

The result of this handover has been the creation of a factory farming system in which genetically

engineered crops are doused in glyphosate and livestock are herded into tiny pens where

they live their entire lives in fetid squalor, pumped up with antibiotics and growth hormones

until they are slaughtered and shipped off to the supermarkets and fast food chains.

There are plenty of documentaries and exposés detailing the dangers of this industrial farming system

that we find ourselves beholden to. Any number of activists ringing the alarm about these problems.

Numerous campaigns and marches organized to raise awareness about these issues.

Yet still, nation after nation gets fatter and sicker as traditional diets based on fresh produce

sourced from local farmers are displaced by the fast food pink slime sourced from the industrial farms of the big food oligopoly.

But, as bad as things may be, they're about to get even worse.

As crisis after crisis disrupts the food supply, the solution to these problems has already been prepared.

New technologies are coming online that threaten to upend our understanding of food

altogether. Technologies that could, ultimately, begin altering the human species

itself. This is your guide to the future of food. You are watching the Corvette Report.

So, what is food anyway?

To a normal human being whose head is screwed on straight, that sounds like a dumb question.

Food is fuel for the body, obviously.
