Food in 2050
Today we are going to interview the Italian Health Minister Mr. Rossi.
Int.: So good morning Mr. Rossi, what does your new style of nutrition consist of?
Mr. Rossi: Today we are used to eating some strange food like ladybirds’ flour, canned
grasshoppers, vodka with tarantula and toasted scorpions covered with dark chocolate.
Of course, we are very far from our past habits.
Int.: “is the project in some way influenced by eastern traditions?”
Mr. Rossi: “This new type of nutrition is actually typically Italian”
Int.: Have the Italians all accepted this new kind of nutrition?
Mr. Rossi: “No, they haven’t, because they don’t want Italian food being replaced by
these new habits. Their aim is to protect their traditions “
Int: What are the pros of this nutrition?
Mr. Rossi: now the Italian population is growing fast, we will not have enough resources
for us, and so this will be the faster way to provide for nutrition and to survive. However,
it will be the same for the other poor countries, perhaps we will defeat hunger in the
world.
Int.: What are the negative aspects of introducing this new kind of food?
Mr. Rossi: “According to what I have just said for the Italians the problem is that not
everybody wants to replace traditional food with this new culture”
Int.: “So, thank you for your contribution to keep our readers informed about the
changes occurring in the world”
Mr. Rossi: “For me it is a duty because people should know what they are going to deal
with.”
