People remain cautious about the emergence of new food technologies according to a review of existing research, published by the Food Standards Agency.

And of course it will be way too late then.

Once upon a time, a week old loaf of bread would be moldy. This week, due to an incredibly busy month after lay offs, I found a month old loaf of bread on top of my refridge. Not a speck of mold.

6. I don't think the words "food" and "technology" belong very close to each other.

But that's just me.
