Taco Bell Assembly Line

I went to Taco Bell and got some dinner tonight. While I was waiting on my food to be prepared, I recalled a book written by Aldous Huxley, titled Brave New World. The food that was being prepared was done in an assembly line manner. The assembly line idea was brought to the forefront by Henry Ford, with the Model T. The food coming out of the end of the Taco Bell assembly room is not as good as the food that you get when you visit a fancy restaurant. When Amy and I went to Williamsburg, Virginia we dined as several restaurants at Colonial Williamsburg. The setting was ~1750 before the revolutionary war, and well before the assembly line. The food was wonderful, of course it was also more expensive then the Taco Bell meal. It had more of a hand made taste. In Huxley’s book, he describes a society how worships Ford (Henry Ford) and makes their babies though artificial means in an assembly line. I read an article about rich families from China and Canada coming to the United States to choose the sex of their babies (http://www.cnn.com/2006/HEALTH/06/14/sex.selection.ap/index.html?section=cnn_latest). This idea is frightful, to think that people, on a whim will play God and chose the sex of their baby. I full appreciate, respect and embrace medicine, and medical advances that will aid in prolonging life, and eliminating disease. However; choosing the sex of one’s baby is ludicrous, as are the laws that allow people to do that here in the United States. It is only a few steps away from Huxley’s book where the create babies on an assembly line, do not get married, brainwash children into 5 different classes, and so on.
I am afraid that society will become like the Taco Bell assembly line food, edible but not fantastic!
