Future Food

After some interesting discussions in the Food conference, Tanner and his classmates decided on a Future Food Recipe Contest.

We would like to suggest a future food recipe contest for all three countries. Please let us know what you think as soon as possible. This contest is about future food in 7004. You should enter a recipe, description and picture of your idea for a future food. Some of the US food topic members have posted their ideas as models.

Unfortunately, they had no takers for the contest, so we'll just share their models here and some of the ideas from the conference.
