Online session presented at SETI 2020 event (Federal University of Lavras) in Brazil this week (Nov, 9th, 2020): "If I were in your shoes, and judging from the title, I would say at once: "Damn! It has nothing to do with technology." But it really does a lot. The idea behind this talk is to show how our food is also being digitized. And yes, the Digital Transformation is already impacting our "daily rice and beans". This dialogue will be an excellent opportunity to talk about the technologies of Cultivated-Meat, Plant-Based Meat and Fermentation. And yes, the simulation of dairy products will also be part of the menu, I mean, of the conversation. The session aims to tackle the topic in an introductory, consult-oriented, and deviant way to exercise Future Thinking on the topic. After all, we are living in the great moment of "digital symbiosis" between the branch of Biotechnology and IT technologies."

The FDA’s Definition for Milk “Milk means the lacteal secretion, practically free from colostrum, obtained by the complete milking of one or more healthy cows, which may be clarified and may be adjusted by separating part of the fat therefrom; concentrated milk, reconstituted milk, and dry whole milk. Water, in a sufficient quantity to reconstitute concentrated and dry forms, may be added.” Source: FDA (Food and Drug Administration) / CFR - Code of Federal Regulations Title 21
