Plant-based and lab-grown meats are revolutionizing the food industry. But an even more high-tech nourishment has been proposed by a local lawmaker, which the secretary of the Department of Science and Technology said he will look into.
The only question is if the so-called food pill from Sagip party-list Representative Rodante Marcoleta would be palatable to Filipinos. Of course, his proposal is not new as food pills were among the meals of American astronauts who traveled to the moon in 1969. Eaters may find the no-cook gustable.
In case the DoST comes up with such innovative food, it may also revolutionize the pharmaceutical industry with drugstores selling sinigang or tinola capsule or rice topping tablets. Until then, people will just cook the usual way, like how TikTok vlogger Rosie Grant does it.
Grant shows her cooking and baked pastries on her TikTok page @ghostlyarchive using borrowed, instead of her own, recipes.
With her spritz cookies, snickerdoodles, fudge, meatloaf, mac and cheese, Taco Bell Crunchwrap Supreme and others, Grant has amassed 4.7 million likes and 114,400 followers on TikTok in a short period of time, CBS News reported.
Her followers, who relate to her posts, are a testament not only of her baking skills but also of the delightfulness of the recipes that she copied from gravestones.
Grant found that there are recipes etched onto family gravestones in cemeteries, like the spritz cookies recipe on the dead Naomi Miller-Dawson, according to CBS News.
For those wondering why recipes are etched on gravestones, the reason is basically the same as other messages on other tombstones.
They simply wanted to be remembered through their baked goodies, according to Grant.
