The Future of Food and Technology

Food – who doesn’t like it? Every living creature consumes food – vegan or carnivore, dairy or meat, cold or hot. Since food is such a basic thing in our life, there is now way we can some how mix new techonology with it, right? Wrong!

When Food and Technology come together

The food industry is one of the most profiting industry there is. Everybody wants food – the tastier the better. Technology gets involved with our food constantly in our daily life, but what are the new features that are available in the new age – age of mobile apps?

Recommendations

One of the coolest thing in food technology is the recommendations system. Whenever you go to eat in a restraunt, after you finish rank your expreince from the restraunt in a target app. After a few different restraunt visits you’ll get the recommendation from the recommendation app. Then, when you feel like trying out a new restraunt, you simply go to the app, type the name of the restaurant you want to try, and the app will recommend a desired restraint you will probably like, based on your previous reviews. Don’t forget – the more reviews you will give, the better suggestion you will get from the app

Allergies

Well, for most us, that do not suffer from food allergies, we tend to just dive in our food and eat without any thought about what is in it, but what about people with allergies? Well for them ordering food in a restaurant is not that obvious. First of all, they need to order food that is fit to they allergies but even then that is not enough, sometimes they still get food that is not fit for them. Well for them there is a cool app that can detect ingredients just by taking a photo. You take a picture with the app and then the app analyzes the picture – if there are any bad ingredients for you the app will tell you! I wouldn’t recommend using this kind of apps because I’m not sure how reliable they are – but it is still cool that we are advancing towards such technology.

Where should I eat?

Rather if you are vegan, have allergies (hopefully you read the paragraph before) or just a picky eater – there are apps just for you! There are apps on the market that show you different restaurants by their types and ranking. you can filter through different categories and in that way get the ideal pick for you. So, for example, if you are vegan and want to it in a vegan restaurant you simply check the vegan filter and get all the good vegan restaurants which are close to you.
