Future Food Is Artificial	comment	In the future, things are going to change drastically — including our diets. Whether it be from the destruction of arable land , because we live in space stations or Moon colonies, or because food processing technology becomes cheaper, eventually, real food will become a luxury item, unavailable to all but the elite. So, what does the rest of the hoi polloi eat? Junk food and processed foodstuffs, based usually on soy, lentils or yeast or clones, loaded up with artificial flavors and engineered to be nutritionally completenote Soy is one of the few legumes that has all 20 amino acids for a complete human protein, although soymilk is insufficient to supply a human infant's rapid brain development, because it lacks the right fatty acids. — but not the least bit tasty or satisfying. Future Food Is Artificial is a staple of Cyberpunk and other Dystopias because Only Electric Sheep Are Cheap and is often the first clue that the Utopia we see isn't quite what it seems. However, it is also common in the Harder varieties of science fiction, particularly Space Operas; space farms are Truth in Television, but big battery farms on board any spaceship smaller than a Generation Ship strains just about everyone's Willing Suspension of Disbelief. The Darker and Grittier version of Food Pills (it probably first appeared in fiction as a subversion thereof), and the black sheep cousin to Veganopia. Assuming it's not recycled, this sort of future food usually comes from a Multipurpose Monocultured Crop. If you discover to your horror that the artificial food is people!, that's Human Resources. If it's made from icky, crawly vermin because normal livestock are no longer cost-effective, that's Reduced to Ratburgers on a commercial scale. It's also a component of many Utopias as well; if synthetic food is impossible to distinguish from the real thing, then why would you want to consume the parasitic organisms that pervade just about all food? It is possible that once tasty synthetic food is invented, awareness of contaminated food could become comparable to current awareness of sanitation as opposed to The Dung Ages. The average person might find the idea of choosing to risk food poisoning to be similar to the notion of choosing to risk cholera and dysentery by drinking Cool, Clear Water. This trope is likely to overlap with Poverty Food in any Crapsack World setting. Artificial Meat is a specific Sub-Trope where it's only meat that isn't real. If characters long to have tasty, real food but the government bans or heavily taxes it, they may try to buy Black Market Produce such as strawberries at a Black Market.

Future Food Is Artificial / int_13d88835	comment	In Cowboy Bebop (2021), it's made explicit that most food is artificial (unlike the anime, in which real food is apparently easy to get everywhere in the solar system by the start of the show). When Spike and Jet go to a Greasy Spoon for a meal, Jet asks if the popcorn shrimp is real or not and gets told that it's really just soy and algae. Meanwhile, in the kitchen we're treated to a shot of a worker squirting artificial cheese out of a tube onto bread (which also looks artificial). In "Blue Crow Waltz", it's shown that even a Syndicate boss is stuck with a plate of synth beef. The meat is more difficult to cut, and he gripes: "I mean, seriously, how hard would it be to breed a couple of cows?"

The cartons of milk that show up are specified as being soy milk, for example, and a character at one point uses the expression "real meat on golden platters" in reference to extreme luxury.

The first time the player catches a fish to eat, their PDA tells them that it's common for people raised on artificial food blocks to be disgusted at the idea of eating dead animals, but humans had survived for thousands of years doing just that and in an emergency you can't afford to be picky. One abandoned PDA log also has its author mentioning that he and his companions have had to eat fish to survive, in a tone that suggests doing such a thing would be controversial, and feels the need to justify it by saying "After all, it's nothing they wouldn't do."

Future Food Is Artificial / int_24a18ffe	comment	In the original The Ship Who... stories published in the 1960s, brainships have larders stocked with ingredients of undescribed provenance, and kitchens in which they can be cooked. When Anne McCaffrey returned to the setting in the '90s with several co-authors, she set those books roughly two hundred years later to cover for the (massive!) changes in technology. Brainships in this era have food synthesizers and can use them to make tempting-smelling dishes in a hurry. In The City Who Fought a character dining at an expensive restaurant in a Space Station reflects on what a treat it is to have so much food of a direct planetary origin, like saffron rice and grilled ribs, which implies synthesized food is the norm.

Not just as some additive or preserver, that's all that is in the package aside raw glucose and water. While there is still bacon (almost always in short supply, but so is everything else in the story), it's implied it's just as bad and deep-frozen with some quick-thaw liquid activating while taken out of the wrapper. Bagels are already made with plastic wrapping around them, that dissolves in your mouth. Anything even resembling regular food is nowhere to be seen. Not exactly food itself, but the only plants still growing are heavily modified GMO crops in many stories. When Creo is given a real, natural tomato in The Calorie Man, he finds the concept of taste disgusting. Meanwhile, Lalji, who is old enough to remember food before MegaCorps destroyed all non-GMO food, is in heaven when finally eating something other than tasteless corn and soy. The People of Sand and Slag eat exactly that. Being trans-human organisms who have Nigh-Invulnerability as part of their augmentation, they don't really need food anymore — just any mass will do in case of having to repair injuries or lacking limbs. Apparently, rich people still eat "organic food", but it's considered an act of pure snobbery and showing off one's wealth since nobody has to eat anything at all and given the world's condition, growing any sort of plants or livestock is prohibitively expensive. Doubly so when it's not needed for anything in particular. When the main characters end up roasting a dog over burning plastic chairs, they find the concept of meat to be extremely over-rated.

Future Food Is Artificial / int_36ee2abe	comment	Paranoia: The game thrives on this trope, with a wide variety of artificial foods available — algae Chips, soy chewing gum, Bouncy Bubble Beverage, and the (extra super) infamous Hot Fun and Cold Fun among them. Soylent has even been used as one type of food as homage, as well as fitting nicely with the colour-coded security clearances. (Soylent Red, Orange, Yellow, etc.) There is no real quality-control process, however, or at least none that hasn't been compromised by cost-cutting technicians; the number of flavor varieties available to the player, meanwhile, depends on his security clearance. The food vats are a staple of the game, both as a menial job that the vast majority of Infrared civilians work in, as a punishment reassignment after demotion, and as a source of insults and curses. ("Vatslime!") One manual goes into detail as to how the food vats work, specifically a symbiotic interaction between an aquatic plant and a fungus that results in a highly nutritious (and flavourless) gel that can be easily repurposed in a multitude of different ways. Friend Computer is happy to report that no one has ever accidentally fallen into Food Vat #4589B and gotten processed with the yeast strains, nor do recycled cadavers ever supply the protein content for Vita-Yum Meal Substitute Bars. In later editions, it's not just the High Programmers who get to escape this; one of the perks of Red clearance is that you get to eat a real apple once a month or so, with the promise of more if you continue to be promoted. (Mid-level clearances can also afford to buy some extra real food from the Infrared market.)

The Global Community was able to end world hunger by synthetically mass-producing foodstuffs. But the replicated food paled in comparison to real food, and not all foods could be replicated by the time mass-production became the norm, so there weren't as many choices of what to eat from what was produced.

The space station's nutrient supply appears based on worm protein that gets 3D-printed into something vaguely resembling food. Someone actually taped a "Worst Bagle Machine Ever" sticker on the printer, implying the stuff tastes about as great as it looks. However, this sort of grub seems to be exclusive to astronauts in space (reasonable, given the logistical effort required to keep them supplied for a mission of unknown duration) while planetside meals appear to be largely the same as what we eat today.

With the liberation of Vichy Earth leaving a lot of aliens stranded and trying to integrate into human society, natural foods are still common but City 31 is pushing various artificial foods in an attempt to find something that a large number of species can eat, instead of having specific foods for every individual species. It's a Running Gag that sectoids have such specific dietary needs that anything any other species can eat has some terrible side effects on sectoids. Examples include Burger Palace kelp-protein burgers that are rebranded ADVENT burgers ("new name, new location, new ingredients, new process, same great taste") and contain a "flavor bulb" that detects if a species can't eat it and flees, BIG CRUNCH ("the cereal that writhes!") hibernating gene-tailored grubs that awaken when you pour milk on them, and NotDogs. Aliens are not supposed to eat more than one pack per week, and they should immediately be discarded if they turn "the color perceived by humans as blue."

Vat-grown fruits and vegetables are common, but it's still cheaper to buy a mix. Automatic food dispensers use "nutrifuel" to build food seemingly from nothing. "Soldier grade meatfuel" is when the dispensers ignore taste in order to increase efficiency; it's great fuel for meat, but the only people who will eat it are soldiers, and even then, usually only when explicitly ordered to. More common is "people grade meals," which are prettied up and tastier, but cost more time and nutrifuel to make. They come from the exact same dispenser and are built from the exact same recycled biological material. The hopper is kept out of sight so that no one has to see exactly what goes into the dispenser.

Cordelia, the protagonist, is from a Utopia-ish planet and has recently moved to the more primitive former Lost Colony Barrayar. She's used to eating carniculture (real meat, raised in a vat instead of a killed animal), and the fact that what she's eating used to be alive gives her a moment of pause. She still eats it, and enjoys it, but puts it down to her pregnancy making her have strange cravings. (Maybe she's right; in a later book her son says she "never eats anything but vat-protein if she can help it," and carniculture is common on Barrayar as well. But Cordelia ate the fish her son caught, because she loves him.) Later in the series, we're introduced to butter bugs, which are being designed to eat the Bizarre Alien Biology of Barrayar's ecology and produce human-edible food. "Rat bars" (ration bars) are another staple of the series — perfectly formulated to contain all the nutrients and calories the human body needs (though just one a day is fairly lean rations for an adult), but usually tasting like old leather. And sometimes chewing like old leather, for the lower-quality varieties. They mostly come out in emergency situations and for prisoners, and sometimes as the economical choice on long tours of duty in various space navies and mercenary outfits.

However, nobody says it's nasty or disgusting, and the closest the game ever gets to a real example of this trope is an article on the in-game news about factory workers from Leeds being fed with livestock-grade Synth Food, supposedly because the pollution ends up destroying their sense of taste. Supplementing the reason why Synth Food Paste is so popular is the fact the plant used to grow it can survive very harsh weather.

When she gets back, she activates whatever passes for a gag reflex in gynoids and vomits up a double handful of pudding that does look distressingly used.

It has approximately four trillion flavours, although a couple literally taste like shit (inevitable when it can taste like pretty much anything based on a roll of a zillion-sided dice, really, but they're damn proud of it for some inexplicable reason). It is noted to be 4th best, so presumably there's more expensive versions that never roll "fecal won-tons". It's also shown in the commercial to replicate the shape and texture of whatever food it's mimicking, but "Tactical Grob" bait grenades only burst into a purple blot.

Future Food Is Artificial / int_95226eb6	comment	Cyberpunk 2020 features Kibble, a low-cost mass-produced food that's described as having the same appearance, smell, and flavor as the dog food from which it takes its name, and which only the truly destitute actually eat. Most people's food is pre-packs, which are usually heavy on soy, mycoprotein, insects, and artificially textured vegetables. Pre-packs vary in quality from food pastes that resemble instant ramen-flavored sealing foam, to "TV dinner"-style meals that can, in a pinch, be confused for something your mom would cook. If you feel like cooking for yourself, you can also get synthetic ingredients, though most people don't bother. "Fresh", a slang term encompassing all forms of naturally grown food (though even "fresh" meat and fish tend to be vat-grown or aquarium-raised) is a thing, but availability and price keep it somewhere between "maybe for an extra-special birthday treat" and "utterly unattainable" for the vast majority of the population.

Future Food Is Artificial / int_a78fff6d	comment	The food available to the crew aboard SeaQuest DSV is a mix of real and artificial. In the first season, it's mentioned that beef and dairy is all artificial because cattle farming was criminalized. Eggs, meanwhile, are flavored protein. By the events of 2032, pork has become illegal. Meanwhile, even real food is engineered to the point it no longer seems real. Fruit is now perfectly balanced so that it delivers that perfect balance of nutrients and flavor without bruising or spoiling. This frustrates some people because they remember when food had imperfections and variety. Because real beef is no longer legal, there is a black market for it. Krieg spends an episode sourcing a small block of frozen ground beef just so he can have a hamburger. In the same episode, Bridger attends a high level meeting and is appalled to see that UEO flag officers are enjoying real roast beef, suggesting that beef in the series' setting is roughly equivalent to what Cuban cigars are in the US: technically illegal, but if you are rich and well-connected enough to get a hold of the stuff, no one will arrest you for it and it helps grease the wheels of negotiation among the rich and prominent.

So lichen and moss are grown in heated greenhouses called Hothouses. Though this is Downplayed Trope since meat is implied to be available through hunting while warm-weather crops can be regrown from research for second-tiered Hot Houses. Stew rations and watered soup can be made from the mentioned food sources to feed more people, though the latter will cause small discontent due to lack of filling and taste. If things get really desperate, there's always adding sawdust to the rations to feed even more people (at the cost of people's health and mood) and then finally, there's good old cannibalism.

She still eats it, and enjoys it, but puts it down to her pregnancy making her have strange cravings. (Maybe she's right; in a later book her son says she "never eats anything but vat-protein if she can help it," and carniculture is common on Barrayar as well. But Cordelia ate the fish her son caught, because she loves him.)

It's a kind of high-protein plant, usually highly processed by the time it gets to the consumers because it happens to look like a human head. Sometimes munce is even made out of dead humans. Another example is the Gunge product line, consisting of delicacies like the Slime Sauce, Bacteria Soup, Maggot Steaks, Black Widow Spider Wine matured for a week in an old boot, and Mould Jam. When the initial release sparks huge protests, the Justice Department outlaws Gunge, buys the factories, blends the foodstuffs together until it is indefinite mush, and re-releases the products under an artificial brand. Various Mega-City One foodstuffs are mentioned with the suffix Synthi-, Mock- or similar. Most of the time this is assumed to be because the genuine article no-longer exists due to the Mega-City existing in a Crapsack World, but on occasion SynthiCaf has existed alongside real coffee as a legal replacement after the Justice Department banned caffeine.

Future Food Is Artificial / int_e7e37776	comment	Fresh food still exists in Firefly, but it's rare and expensive outside of wealthy Alliance territory and agricultural settlements, especially fruit, vegetable, and meat. Proteins and artificial food are eaten on a regular basis, and skilled cooks are valued. There's Kaylee's reaction to Book's strawberries in the pilot, to say nothing of the way she eats them later... In "Out of Gas", the gang makes an entire birthday cake for Simon out of protein. They try to make it mock chocolate-y. The valuable cargo looted from a derelict ship in the pilot? Nutrition bars, of the sort issued as rations to brand-new colonies. Thanks to the central Alliance government's utter lack of interest in doing anything to support any brand-new colony which can't survive entirely on its own, these ration bars are much more valuable as loot than the ingots of precious metal they're initially portrayed to be, especially as each one can feed a family of four for a month. Many of the worlds they stop off at are largely occupied by agricultural settlements, so it's not as if real food is impossible to acquire. The protein bars they seem to mainly live off in space are likely chosen because they're cheap, have a high calorie-to-mass ratio, and can probably keep for long periods without refrigeration; sort of like the futuristic version of MREs. The RPG makes this explicit, offering three levels of food supplies (protein bars, canned food, fresh food) with increasing cost, mass, and longevity drawbacks to go with corresponding morale bonuses. When they manage to earn some good money, Jayne buys them a box of apples. They all enjoy them immensely.

Future Food Is Artificial / int_fc063da9	comment	In The Space Merchants, only wealthy snobs can afford to eat "new protein" exclusively. For the lower classes, there's a giant growing fleshy lump called "Chicken Little" (it was originally a piece of chicken heart tissue) that they carve slices off: the working man's "meat". Better yet, it's fed by hundreds of tubes carrying raw yeast in from a multi-story yeast farm above it, tended by hordes of perpetually abused sweatshop workers.

Future Food Is Artificial / int_fd7de151	comment	In Psycho-Pass, 99% of Japan's food in 2113 is artificial. It is also all produced in one place, which allows Makishima the chance to destroy Japan's food supply, in order to create societal collapse to make the Sibyl System irrelevant.

Future Food Is Artificial / int_ff9ab17f	comment	In Star Trek: The Next Generation, replicators seem to make food from Pure Energy,note The Star Trek: The Next Generation Technical Manual, which was written by propmasters Michael Okuda and Rick Sternbach, suggest that it's actually a sort of organic slurry of a chemical composition to make food replication statistically easier; in other words, like many other examples on this page, food replicators run at least partly on shipboard waste. so it obviously never came from anything that was ever alive except in some kind of cosmic sense. The replicator uses transporter technology to rearrange the molecular structure of some kind of raw material (basically any sort of solid matter) into the molecular structure of edible food. This process can also be used to fabricate tools and spare parts. (Some) Klingons, such as Worf's brother Kurn, apparently have an issue with the replicator technology, as their culture demands that meat animals be hunted and killed. This issue pops up rather inconsistently, though. Certain foods, like gagh and racht (both a type of worm), cannot be replicated, as replicators cannot create living objects and those are universally eaten living.

Future Food Is Artificial / int_ffc9bcc1	comment	In Soylent Green, the people are forced to subsist on unappetizing synthetic red and yellow biscuits made of soy and lentils, until a novelty product is released... green biscuits. Of course, if the idea of eating plain artificial food wasn't bad enough, the movie has one more gut-punch for you...
