Scientists push to implement edible RFID tracking chips in food

It will monitor your calorie intake, show from where your food

was sourced, and even let you know when the food in your fridge is

about to go bad -- these are some of the enticing claims made by the

developers of a new system that embeds edible radio frequency

identification (RFID) chips directly into food. Its creators insist the

technology will revolutionize the way humans eat for the better, but

critical-thinking onlookers will recognize the ploy as just another way

to track and control human behavior.

Developed by Hannes Harms from the Royal College of Art in

London, the " NutriSmart " system is based on the idea that RFID wafers

injected directly into food can help better track the food supply

chain, further automate the supermarket shopping experience, and

simplify the eating experience by programming data into food so that

humans essentially do not have to think about what they are

doing.

The technology makes both eating and dealing with food in

general mindless, as a person simply needs to plop an RFID-embedded

food item onto a special RFID-laced plate, which then tells the person

all about the item and how much of it to eat. RFID ovens and microwaves

also eliminate having to think about how long to cook an RFID food item

-- simply put it in the RFID microwave, oven, or toaster, and the

machine will know exactly how long to cook the item.

As interesting and novel as this might sound, such technology

is actually quite frightening when taken to its logical ends.

NaturalNews previously warned that mad scientists have already

developed edible RFID tags for use in pharmaceutical drugs

(http://www.naturalnews.com/028663_h...). These tags, of course, can

and will likely be used to monitor patients' compliance with doctors

orders, and alert authorities if a patient refuses to take certain

pills as prescribed.

And if such technology also ends up in food, it is safe to

assume that evil powers will seek to control the food supply with it,

as well as monitor the types of food people eat. In other words, if

authorities one day decide that vitamin and mineral supplements are off

limits, which is what is currently happening in Europe

(http://www.naturalnews.com/032389_h...), it is plausible that RFID

technology can assess illegal intake of such nutrients, and immediately

send this data to the appropriate enforcement agencies.

This 1984-esque scenario appears to be more than just science

fiction -- it is unfolding before our eyes just a little bit more every

single day. And the NutriSmart system is just another piece of evidence

that those in power wish to micromanage every single aspect of our

lives, from the drugs we take to the foods we eat.
