Want to read the news over lunch but find newspapers awkward? Never
fear鈥攜ou could soon be reading the news on fruit, vegetables, nuts or
cheese crackers. Researchers at MIT have come up with a way to combine news
consumption with food consumption by etching the headlines onto foodstuffs.
Their tool is a modified laser cutter that鈥檚 normally used for etching plastics.
The researchers say fruit could be made more fun for kids by engraving pictures
on it鈥攁nd that wasteful packaging could be reduced by having bar codes and
sell-by information placed directly on the food. See what it looks like at
