Here’s a great tool for the medical-pharmaceutical complex to track every move you eat — an edible RFID tag embedded in your food. But, of course, this is only for medical purposes, and for the purpose of healing you from yourself. And then there’s the smart plate for “nutrition management.” Imagine how easy a little food fascism would be with these tools at the government’s disposal? If you are a diabetic, for instance, the ADA could make sure you are getting enough carbs to keep yourself sick enough to stay held captive within the quasi-government medical system. Thanks to Travis Holte for the link.
