Nano-Bites! the Dieter's Dream; Newest Scientific Super-food Breakthrough
The Newest Breakthrough in the Scientific Community...
Nano-food hitting a grocery store near you!
Extra! Extra!
Nano-Bites! The Dieter's Dream
Nano-Bites! are the newest scientific super-food breakthrough that allow you to eat the foods you want and still lose weight.
Nano-Bites! are "Smart" Food that, by way of nanotechnology, tells your body to get the vitamins and nutrients through more efficiently than ever before, while allowing the sugar, fat and "bad for you" stuff, to "pass right on through".
Your body won't absorb any "bad stuff", and you'll still get all the required nutrition plus added supplements for excellent health. It's like a dream come true!
"So you can eat Nano-Bites! doughnuts, pizza, ice-cream, cake and candy and still lose weight! Unbelievable!"
"It's a Miracle!"
It's always been, "no, to this", "no, to that", and "No, thank you, I'm watching my figure".
Not any more!
"Nano-Bites are a dream come true!"

Ok, that's a huge joke!
I totally made that all up.
But seriously, this really could be an ad you'll soon see everywhere.
Believe it or not, the technology is out there waiting to pounce.
And in the near future we may find ourselves using nanotechnology for everything.
Nanotechnology will be a part of our everyday lives, inside and outside our bodies.
What Is Nanotechnology? to understand that you have to understand what a nanometer is;
- A nanometer (nm) is one billionth of a meter.
- The width of an average hair is 100,000 nanometers.
- Human blood cells are 2,000 to 5,000 nm long,
- a strand of DNA has a diameter of 2.5 nm,
- a line of ten (10) hydrogen atoms is one nm.2
That should give you a pretty good comparison to understand how small a nanometer really is, and the technology that could be accomplished with such a smart and tiny thing.
The government has even gotten in on this deal (of course)...
I found a public release from www.house.gov that speaks on the subject then, now and the future of nanotechnology.
Here's a Federal Gov't Public Release .pdf on Nanotechnology (03-22-07)

Nanotech wasn't possible until the invention in the 1980s and early 1990s of ways to arrange individual atoms under software control.

Largely unnoticed, hundreds of products containing nano-sized particles have already reached the market -- metal surfaces and paints so slick they clean themselves when it rains; organic light-emitting diodes for computer screens, digital cameras and cell phones; sub-miniature data storage devices (aiming to hold the Library of Congress in a computer the size of a sugar cube); specialty lubricants; long-mileage vehicle tires; nano-reinforced plastics for stronger automobile fenders; lightweight military armor; anti-reflective and scratch-resistant sun glasses; super-slippery ski wax; powerful tennis rackets and long-lasting tennis balls; inkjet photographic paper intended to hold an image for 100 years; high-contrast MRI scanners for medical diagnosis; efficient drug and vaccine delivery systems; vitamins in a spray; invisible sunscreen ointments containing nano particles of titanium or zinc; anti-wrinkle cosmetic creams; and even edible chocolate computer chips; http://www.ediblecomputerchips.com/

Food is one of the newest realms for nanotechnology. As NBR reporter Dana Greenspon explains, scientist are working on ways to uses super small sensors to keep food safe.
I don't know about everyone else, but this does sound a bit scary to me. I'm not sure I'd eat nano-bites, even if they did hold all those promises...just sounds a little like the "too good to be true" type thing.
What are your thoughts?
Would you eat nano-bites???

Well, I guess if the food is one billionth of a meter, you couldn't possibly get fat from it, lol!
I had not even heard of this. I do hope, like Don said, that the benefits outweigh the risks.
One of those technologies that will likely do some good and some harm, let's just hope the good outweighs the harm.
Give New York a warm southern hug from me, great work!
Great job on this!
It's an interesting concept. Good job!
Yes, nano technology has been around for some time (well, from the 80s as you point out....). It is an 'enabling' technology, one that enables others. All of them making for progress. All good stuff!
Very interesting and great writing style :)
Good one. It reminded me of the Olestra stories years back that made it sound like you could eat potato chips all day.
