And how about voice-activated pantry shelves that rotate like a Ferris wheel to show their wares, or refrigerators that can be pro- grammed to lock out marauding dieters between meals. And what kitchen could be com- . plete without a computer to dis- play recipes and keep an invento- ry of pantry shelves — and serve as a nutrition system. Set up a KINTNER MODULAR HOMES, INC.
