The food show is mouthwatering, but unfortunately the deliciousness cannot be conveyed through the screen. However, recently, a professor at Meiji University in Japan has developed a lickable prototype TV screen called "Taste the TV" (TTTV), which can pass through the blending flavor pot and spray the food flavor on the screen. Sanitary film, lick the screen, you can easily taste the food on the screen.

Yoshiaki Miyashita, a professor at Meiji University in Japan, said that in the era of the raging new crown epidemic, lickable "tasting TV" can increase the way people connect and interact with the outside world. His goal is to allow people to stay at home. The taste of a restaurant at one end.

At first glance, the "Tasting TV" looks like an ordinary device equipped with a touch panel. In fact, there are jars with 10 flavors inside. Just say the name of the food to the TV, and you can adjust the taste of a specific food. High-pressure nozzles spray the specially formulated liquid on the sanitary film, and then deliver it to the flat-screen TV screen for the user to "taste".

In addition to the flavor of the food, this "tasting TV" can also reproduce the taste of various types of alcohol based on the alcohol concentration, so that sommeliers and chefs can teach remotely. In addition to reproducing the taste, users can also share the taste of food with friends remotely through it, which means that they can have dinner with relatives and friends remotely and taste the world's food without stepping out of the house.

Miyashita said he spent a year building the TTTV prototype, which cost about 100,000 yen ($865) to manufacture commercially. At present, the R&D team is also negotiating cooperation with some restaurant operators and hopes that it can be applied to the digital menu of the restaurant in the future, so that customers can taste the taste of each dish through the menu first.

The death toll from diabetes in the U.S. surpassed 100,000 for the second year in a row last year, and experts recommend a federal "anti-diabetic" mobilization, like the fight against AIDS.

The panel called on Congress to expand strategies to combat diabetes, including strengthening "healthy eating" standards, a "sweet drink tax," a "paid maternity leave" law, and improved low-income housing.

Diabetes took 87,000 American lives in 2019 and is the seventh leading cause of death in the country. The 2020 COVID-19 outbreak in the United States has robbed many resources for treating diabetes and exacerbated the lethality of the "epidemic" of diabetes.

Diabetes deaths will rise 17 percent in 2020 from 2019 and another 15 percent in 2021, according to a Reuters analysis of data from the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), said Paul Hsu, an epidemiologist at the UCLA School of Public Health said that the sharp increase in two consecutive years is a shocking warning. Hsu added "Type 2 diabetes is not difficult to prevent, but it still takes so many lives, it is really sad."

The National Council on Clinical Care, convened by Congress, calls on the federal government to provide more comprehensive approaches to preventing the most common form of diabetes, type 2 (acquired), especially for those who have been diagnosed with life-threatening symptoms to provide the best possible care.

About 11 percent of the U.S. population, or 37 million people, has diabetes, the committee said, a long-term condition estimated at one in three people based on current life expectancy trends.

The committee's report to Congress and the Department of Health stated that the diabetes problem in the United States is not a purely medical care problem, but a social problem involving diet, housing, business, transportation, and the environment.

It recommends that Congress create a "National Office of Diabetes Policy" to coordinate government departments and oversee measures beyond public health policy. Committee chairman William Herman, a professor of internal medicine and infectious diseases at the University of Michigan, said the office would be similar in nature to the White House's "National AIDS Policy Office" and should operate independently of the Department of Health.

The cure for diabetes in the U.S., Herman said, can’t just start with medicine, it’s about “integrating all the federal ministries and combining their strengths.”
