Someday soon, predicts Food Processing Magazine, your refrigerator will not only store food, it will choose it and restrict it, too. Within the next few years, computerized "smart" refrigerators, programmed with personal codes, will withhold goodies and snacks if they don't think certain people should have them.

What a great concept. This new fridge must be really smart to outwit the hungry human. Sounds like this is a novel idea for parents trying to limit junk food for their kids, and for those over-eaters on a strict diet. This could also be a good invention for deterring nosy roommates from that leftover pizza you want to save. And they thought they’d sneak a piece- you showed them!
