Meal-in-a-pill: A staple of science fictionit is a constant theme of early science fiction,
the man or woman of the future pops a pill on to their tongue, knocks it back and is satisfied almost immediately.
he eventually swallows the pill, before declaring that"the roast beef was a little bit tough  and lamenting"the good old days Â. But if you look back to these"good old days Â,
the roots of the meal-in-a-pill stem not from the fertile minds of science fiction writers,
 Patriarchal pill pastichesanti-feminist fiction of the time lampooned this fascination with the meal pill.
In the 1920s and 30s the meal pill showed up in popular media as something inevitable, with a touch of the scary.
In one, a construction worker on a ledge digs through his pockets to realise that he has left his meal pill at home;
a grocer plonks six turkey dinner meal pills on to the counter for a lady buying thanksgiving supplies;
the ladies of the house reflect on the"antique  dirty dishes, a relic thanks to the meal pill.
including the meal-in-a-pill. Rather than derive pleasure from food, it was instead something to be controlled
but sustenance for life and man must simply swallow the pill as the future of food came barrelling towards him.
and is one that has reared repeatedly its head when talking about food pills. For example in his 2006 book Meals to Come:
and hope that they will never rely on pills for food, they presume future generations will conform to whatever Ëoescience finds'oe pills, algae or other dystopian horrors.
 Tablets gain groundbut this submissive attitude disappeared in the 1960s, to be replaced by one of techno-utopianism, driven by the glamour and excitement of the space race.
In the age of space travel, meal pills were seen as the next logical step in the evolution of food oe the ultimate in efficiency and a triumph of man over nature.
whilst the emergence of dehydrated and condensed foods mean that food pills were once again back on the menu for future-gazers.
the promise of the 1960s seemed to be"a meal pill in every pocket Â. As with so many visions of the future,
however, the meal-in-a-pill turned from an object of fascination to one of ridicule.
and pills that could help stave off hunger, but the idea of a three course meal remains as remote as the depiction of New york in Just Imagine.
Human beings are never going to eat pills for meals  pills can never be made to contain sufficient caloric volume.
and minerals needed for a meal in pill form. But you can't get calories except by eating food.
 It seems that humans were seduced by the idea of a meal-in-a-pill,
A variety of meal pills were served: tutti-frutti pills, a brown pill for the meat course and a miniature chocolate pellet for dessert.
The ladies in attendance were no doubt content to"play future Â, until reality came back to bite them.
Records show that after the pills they all sat down to coffee and plates of sandwiches

Futurist Fixes 1. The Food Pill. In the future, we may see a type of pill for replacing food,
but experts say it likely would not be a simple compound of chemicals. A pill-sized food replacement system would have to be extremely complex because of the sheer difficulty of the task it was being asked to perform
more complex than any simple chemical reaction could be. The most viable solution, according to many futurists, would be a nanorobot food replacement system.
and senior research fellow at the Institute for Molecular Manufacturing, has described several potential food replacement technologies that are somewhat pill-like.
