PR
editThis reads a lot like PR copy. Perhaps someone could help tone down the praise and language a bit? 69.251.226.26 00:58, 28 January 2007 (UTC)
- I reverted because there wasn't anything that crazy in there in terms of it being a PR piece. I also added the spoiler alert to the iron chef bit. 68.103.207.65 06:42, 29 January 2007 (UTC) (That is to say, I'm all for editing it to get it to the proper POV but don't just take a Class 4 laser to the article and chop off everything.

The son of an engineer, Cantu – a scientist at heart – is driven by insatiable curiosity and endless possibilities. And it is fair to say that the same enthusiasm that drove Cantu to dismantle his father’s lawnmower multiple times and chomp on $5, $10 and $20 dollar bills as a young boy still consumes him.
Considering the BS he spouts about his AI kitchen assistant 'matrix' on the Future Food show I wonder if we shouldn't take his other claims with a grain of fleur de sal?
Is there any backup for his claims of homelessness as a child? And does anyone have a clue how exactly miricle berries could cure world hunger? I wonder how far he's willing to take his culture jamming...
You Know, I Like Future Foods, But...
editThis whole Wikipedia article reads like a press release. I'm not challenging his notability, particularly when it comes to molecular gastronomy, just wondering if someone has the chutzpah necessary to tone this article down a bit. 68.225.171.64 (talk) 08:02, 4 February 2011 (UTC)
