I'll Continue to Chew My Food, Thanks
David Edwards has invented inhalable chocolate.
 He calls it Le Whiff, and he was able to develop it thanks to work he has done on creating inhalable insulin and an inhalable TB vaccination.
According to the story in the Chicago Tribune, Edwards developed a modified inhaler that delivers a thin layer of chocolate particles - too large to enter the lungs - that coat the inside of your mouth with the taste of chocolate.
That's all fine and kooky-weird in a fun way, but this was what I thought was just plain goofy from the story:
"We believe really strongly that there's a whole new way of eating�by aerosol," Edwards, 48, said in a phone interview from Paris. "The big picture here is that for thousands of years we've eaten with our hands or, more recently, with chopsticks and forks and things. We're sort of moving on. People have been whiffing [my product] here in Paris for the past few months." I have a hard time believing that the next logical step in eating evolution is to get food into our bodies by spraying it out of a can (cheez whiz and whip cream aside).
I understand stumping for your new invention/product, but claiming that we're ready to move beyond forks and spoons to a spray can is taking it a tad too far.
Dial it down a notch there.Labels: oddities, Rant
