Rhinehart, who is twenty-five, studied electrical engineering at Georgia Tech, and he began to consider food as an engineering problem. You need amino acids and lipids, not milk itself, he said. You need carbohydrates, not bread. Fruits and vegetables provide essential vitamins and minerals, but theyre mostly water. He began to think that food was an inefficient way of getting what he needed to survive. It just seemed like a system thats too complex and too expensive and too fragile, he told me.
