To all the burnt out food service workers we say, bid farewell to your abusive head chef. Flee the land where food rots and perishes. Leave the cooking behind.

The world of plastic food manufacturing wants you for a lifelong career that tempts eyes, but not tastebuds.

June D. Barnard owns Decorate Your World, a company that offers a full catalog of artificial drinks, dishes and desserts. She says, the industry of artificial food production is "bursting with creativity and excitement."

Have a sweet tooth like Steven Segal and Fez from That ‘70s Show? These delicious chocolates are so realistic that they might even be enough to solve Fez’s Valentines Day dilemma:” [From the KELSO'S CAREER episode, Original Airdate on FOX: February 12, 2002]:

Hyde: (Walks up to Fez who has his back facing towards everyone) Hey Fez, how's it going with not eating the candy? Fez: (Turns around with chocolate all over his mouth) Fine, thank you. (Puts another chocolate in his mouth) ... Fez: (Pours more chocolate on one of Rhonda's chocolate candies) Oh no, I have to, I have to stop eating Rhonda's chocolates! (Puts the candy in his mouth) I'm hopeless! (Looks at the can of Hershey's chocolate and drinks out of it.) ...(Fez is sitting on the couch with one chocolate left in the box. He looks sad.) Fez: Rhonda's going to be so disappointed. All that remains is one lonely candy.
