Google says its Kansas City fiber project is about nutrition
Google said Sunday its interest in Kansas City is not in how the market feeds itself Internet, but in how it feeds itself.
Early Sunday morning, as April Fool’s Day kicked off, the search giant put up a post on its Google Fiber Blog saying that its work in Mid-America wasn’t so much about fiber optic cables for an ultra-fast Internet. Rather, it’s about a nutritional Google Fiber bar.
“Google’s Fiber is able to take cues from the intestinal tract and the body’s metabolism to determine what nutritional elements are missing and deliver the appropriate dose to the specific organ that needs it,” the company said. “We’re proud to announce that Google Fiber will first launch in Kansas City, KS and Kansas City, MO!”
The post includes a short video talking about the promise of the food product and shows a picture of Kansas City, Kansas, Mayor Joe Reardon and Kansas City Mayor Sly James holding a Google Fiber bar and grinning for the camera.
