If thinking about a figure filled with robots making our food leaves you feeling a little uncomfortable, I have to admit, I was a part of that club until I watched the video we are sharing with you today.

While the presence of robots in food preparation gives more people access to freshly prepared foods!

Here is the video from Wired to help show us what the future of food will look like!
