Audrey Hepburn, Aunt Jemima turn in their graves

I want to believe in the idea of a perfect engineered food. I don't think it's possible yet. And if it were, I doubt the second ingredient would be margarine. Calorie Mate is a vitamin-sprinkled shortbread cookie with a very long shelf life that claims to be "balanced food." They've come out with a maple flavored version for a "balanced breakfast."
The English press release explains that the secret ingredient is a touch of soy sauce that counterbalances the maple and orange peel flavors. Hey, guys, they call it a secret ingredient for a reason.
Poor Audrey.

Then there's always Calorie Mate jelly. I like that it doesn't even try to approximate any actual food.
