knife. fork. spoon. yawn. chopsticks: a good joke on western people who think asians actually eat that way, but it's been played out. spare me your bastard sporks or forkoons or the like.

I demand entirely new modalities of consumption. bring them to me and I will be happy to explain how stupid they are, and/or steal them because you forgot to secure the ip rights.

brilliant. just brilliant. this is the future we're talking about, a brave new world, and you're still talking about slicing? bring bring, ron popiel calling, he wants to murder you

however I will give you points for the hidden compartment. for a second I thought your graphic said "hiding wood" and I was really excited, hidden wood suggests an enchanted forest and I think having enchanted forest creatures feed you stuff has potential.

so let me get this straight bucko. you want people to grab a sharp pointy metal surface, very likely bloodying themselves in the process, mash their food with I guess a blunt wooden pestle or something, then try to, I dunno, scrape it from the plate into their mouths?

because, although I hate to gush, that is very slightly less incredibly moronic than the average future person will undoubtedly be

There is no future cutlery. At the rate we're going, it'll all be scoops, feed bags, and straws.

foodies, while initially providing an abundant food source after our oceans run out of fish, will rapidly dwindle in population. maybe we can use their own stupid utensils to consume them however, maybe you can work that into your depressingly bourgeoisie concept

I have already spent $100 million of venture capital trying to build an app store for cyborg implants and I might as well have just lit the money on fire. actually if I'd lit it on fire I would at least have gotten a fleeting experience of warmth and comfort.

Well, that aligns with the vibes I was getting. Which was, like, "normal" kinda vibes.

"cut out the middleman" is a sound and time-tested business concept but I'm having trouble seeing the deliverable. instructional videos? antigravity generators? new flavors of tang? also people don't like astronauts anymore, they cause feelings of inferiority. bring me something relatable, like whales filtering krill.

you are thinking so small I don't know how your brain has managed to avoid slipping out of your ears when you swim. in the future "safe and healthy portions" will be taken care of by fat-eating nanomachines or calorie free synthfood, not some homonculus slave. although if the tiny slave looks like a beloved football personality we may have something to discuss. however that last thing is a separate concept I came up with totally independently of what you said.
