Everybody hopes for the best of the best in the future, so what I"m planning for my meals is going to be showing one of the best possible scenarios.
In 2020 food is much different from the food we eat today. Everything has changed including who we eat it with, what we are eating, and even where we are eating it. Over the years communities have down scaled from mega mansions, and the typical street has evolved into more and more apartment buildings. All LEED certified these apartments gather their main energy from solar panels and small windmills on the top of the roofs. Natural light seeps in through many areas, and rain barrels and rain gardens surround areas where houses are put on a slant.
The food in front of you isn't like it is today. It hasn't taken a five hundred mile trip to reach your supermarket, which is also a huge company with hundreds of locations all across the world. In fact your food didn't even come from farther away then ten miles. The majority of food you buy is locally grown from dairy farms and meat producing farms. There is a crop rotation cycle where animals live on the land for a particular amount of time and then plants are grown, to fill the ground with much needed nutrients from the manure produced by animals. Vertical farming is becoming more and more popular, in fact when just walking down town you see at least five or six building dedicated to producing your town with organic food. Fertilizer was a thing of the past, and family owned farms are thriving. Every person does their share, and community gardens are used frequently.
The actual dish you have hasn't changed much over the ten years, but a few things have been tweaked. When deaths coming from heart problems sky rocketed officials were worried. When they saw it was an extremely young generation that had started the massive intake of high fructose corn syrup and a higher calorie rate they knew something had to be done. In 2020 high fructose corn syrup is still present, but not so abundant. Food that was once prosecessed at a plant and sealed in airtight packages is produced with real ingridents in smaller factories and by people not machines. Food is more simple, and we have learned to scale down the amount of food we eat. Problems like obesity are still there but not as large, and slowly but surely the world is becoming a healthier place.
Where are you? Who are you eating with? Where did your food come from? How did you get it? Who prepared it? What is the dish called? What does it taste like?
