Kitchen of the future

Matthew Yglesias has a clip of Walter Cronkite in 1961 talking about the kitchens of 2001, and cheekily calls it "chilling". He uses it to repeat his opinion that there have actually been major advances in kitchen technology, and certainly food choices, that generally go unacknowledged. But i think Yglesias deliberately ignores some of the cooler ideas in the video to make his point, like the plastic dishes that are molded automatically before the meal is served and then get recycled when it's done. That seems to anticipate 3D printers. And sure, we do have microwaveable frozen dinners, but the ability to push a button and have the meal run across a little assembly line for me seems kind of cool.
