I'm guessing the next 50 years are going to be badass. About 2050 everything is going to be super ****ing awesome.
From 2050-2125 or so we will have reached the height of our success as a nation. Then something really bad will happen. Probably some asshole with a super weapon or something, plunging us back into a dark age (relatively speaking). I plan to die about 2075 so all good with me. |

That's assuming we can't transfer human brains into robot bodies by then. If that happens I'm sticking around as a cyborg.

Fat because they're too lazy to cook a healthy meal so they eat the cheap, horribly unhealthy fast food. Lazy, fat and selfish will get you zero military defense. It'll be easy overtaking those attractive bunch of individuals. Just show them a McDonald's menu. "Mission: Readiness' report, "Too Fat to Fight," said that 75 percent of young Americans between the ages of 17 to 24 do not qualify for the military because of failure to graduate [from high school], criminal records or physical problems. The study cited Department of Defense and health data." http://www.cnn.com/2010/HEALTH/04/20...ary.fat.fight/ sorry if Q

Depending on how the political landscape changes, liberals may legislate fast food out of existence. |

I'm guessing eventually we'll have things like 10-calorie slices of chocolate cake.
Going to be an awesome time to be alive. |

Or a negative-calorie cake. That way you can eat a burger and fries and then neutralize it with cake. We need to work on that.

Of course, because people won't eat every meal from the replicators. Restaurants offering "traditional" food will be incredibly popularized during this golden age. They'll be very trendy, with hipsters claiming "it just tastes better," or "I have replicator food allergies," or "**** THE FAKE FOOD INDUSTRY."

A burger and fries "like your mom made" in 2099 will cost $500.
