« The chocolate’s cake of the year 2000 will be flavoursome, thanks to the chemical firm Rhône-Poulenc : next 21st of October, a cocktail party, at the Ministry of Mr. Hubert Curien (Minister of Research and Industry), given for the publication of Le Génie de la Vie by Elizabeth Antébi, will offer myco-proteines cooked by Chef Jean-Paul Bonin, from the legendary restaurant Crillon, and a “xanthane” mocha, done with a substance that genetic engineering is extracting from mushrooms, for furnishing gel and emulsifier to the ham and ice-cream industry. Elizabeth Antébi has visited the secret laboratories of the planet to give us a glimpse of the food of tomorrow, that will certainly surprised the gourmets of today. She says :

The “nice nosh” of tomorrow is created in laboratories by introducing into the products a foreign gene. Already, at Bordeaux, you can see square peaches, easy to be put in a box, and huge tomatoes, with more juice. In twenty years from now, the gustative revolution will be accomplished » Philippe Bouvard, France-Soir, October 2, 1985.
