The Jetsons was an American TV cartoon show that originally ran in the early 1960s. It showed a futuristic version of the world in which there were flying cars, happy-to-please robots and every imaginable gadget to make everyday life as convenient as possible – including eating.
The Jetsons family -- George; his boy, Elroy; daughter, Judy; Jane, his wife -- all had a funny way of eating -- they generally got all of the nutrition they needed from synthetic food from a machine or by swallowing a pile of pills.
