Bottom line: 'they' want control.

>(NaturalNews) 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_health...ogy.html). 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_herbal...ope.html), 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.
