The Woody Allen movie SLEEPERS from about 1968 had a great scene. He's a health-food store operator who gets freeze-wrapped at death (much like a frozen TV dinner) and unwrapped a century later. The scientists of the future interview him about the primitive beliefs of the 20th century regarding health foods. He tells them about the virtues of bean sprouts, vegetarianism, etc. Indredulously, one scientist asks him: "Was there no deep fat? Was there no hot fudge?" I can't WAIT for that future!
