Eat a bowl of chips – for Big Brother

A research group have developed an eatable RFID chip . It ’s possible that this could direct to the perfect way to get over ethically produced food or reckoning Calorie , or receive out what every single soul in a diner is eating so you may shame them for it .

A Bluetooth connection , a mobile phone or PC , and the Nutrismart system , and you’re able to track every piece of food you eat . Tiny tuner - frequency designation chipping have been put in almost everything . Dogs and children have them implanted in their pelt . Even the plants in my local arboretum have chips plant in them .

An edible radio - frequency chip has been developed . It is meant to be put in solid food and commune with various signaling devices in increasingly distressful ways .

Constant intake of ID tags might be hazardous , cause stomach distressed , or just be mentally unsettling . It seems a mint to risk of infection for a quick gram calorie reckoning .
