The episode is about the future of food being researched at the US Army
Labs in Natick, MA It not only shows the future but much history and
how the Army came up with processes used in out commercial foods.

Dehydrated cheese eventually became Cheetos, potatoes became Pringles.
Box cake mixes was patented in 1933 by someone that had a surplus of
molasses and found a use for it.
Also they show how the McEib came to be.

It repeats on Sunday, 4/11 at 5 PM so set your DVR. New episodes on
Sunday at 10 PM
