Meet George Jetson

Most of us thought that we'd be driving flying cars by now, but don't fret -- at least there've been all kinds of wacky advances made in the world of food.

To name a few? Well, a 27-year-old inventor has created a contraption that allows one to (not even joking) grow their own meat. We're 100% impressed and about 90% grossed out.

Next, a biotech company, already in development of an appetite-suppressing gum, has revealed plans for a new chewy confection: stress-suppressing gum. Again, WHOA.

Finally, we have a British creation: the Hotcan. This line of portable meals features canisters that HEAT YOUR FOOD all by themselves! Very cool. Now WHERE are our flying cars?!
