Available for over a year

This is a clip from an episode of The Digital Human. Food is a universal necessity, human brains light up more for food than any other experience, so it's little wonder that food culture has exploded online. Social media is festooned with pictures, recipes, cooking videos and we can't seem to ever get enough. But, is the digital world doing more than getting our mouths watering? Could technology be changing the very way we taste? In this episode, Aleks Krotoski explores how food trends develop and shape our culture, as well as Chef Watson who creates recipes in the cloud. Producer: Elizabeth Ann Duffy.
