Somehow that title, contrasted with the chart (http://www.nytimes.com/2014/05/01/business/economy/changed-l...) showing how the price of food, especially has gone up in recent years while tech prices have fallen, makes me worry about a future reality where real food is so expensive it's only for the elite, and everyone else subsists on supplements like Soylent.
This is already happening with fast food industry competing on price - lower-priced items at McDonalds or Pizza Hut are chemical variations optimized for longer shelf life.
