Nestlé, the world’s largest food and beverage company, wants to change how we eat in the near future. Bloomberg reports that the Nestlé Institute of Health Sciences (NIHS) has started a program called “Iron Man” that further investigates how essential nutrients affect brain, body, and gastrointestinal function. The hope — which will take years to realize — is to develop a device that scans people’s individual levels of nutrients and designs food around their needs, not unlike the replicators found on Starfleet spaceships.
