Nano-food fears: Scientists say ‘size matters’

Good science, wrong application for now.
"Those consumers already worried about genetically engineered or cloned food reaching their tables may soon find something else in their grocery carts to furrow their brows over: nano-foods.

Consumer advocates...said food produced by using nanotechnology is quietly coming onto the market, and they want U.S. authorities to force manufacturers to identify them.

Nanotechnology involves the design and manipulation of materials on molecular scales, smaller than the width of a human hair and invisible to the naked eye."
Nanotechnology should be used for portioning food to fat people - nanoportions.

That would be a good application of good science.
