After a harried day in the office, meal planning may be the last thing on your mind. It might be evident on your face, though.

That’s the premise behind an interactive technology Kraft and Intel recently introduced called the “Meal Planning Solution.” The kiosk-like display, which is likely to show up in at least one retail location this year, is meant to help weary shoppers find new recipes during last-minute grocery trips.

Forget filling out a profile of favorite recipes and ingredients, though — this bad boy scans your face to figure out what you may be interested in cooking.

Just wanna make something clear: We’re basically talking about phrenology here, right? I mean, there’s no conceivable way a scan of my face could actually know what I like to eat. Unless — and I really hope this is the case — it just goes based on how fat you are. So like a skinny person goes up to the kiosk and it spits out the recipe for a salad and I go up there and it’s all, “Bacon and Butter Souffle.” Mmm…

Also, is it only going to tell you to eat Kraft products? I know that a good 92% of food in any grocery store is produced by Kraft anyway, but is it just going to keep telling everyone that the science of facial imaging suggests they want mac and cheese? And if so, is that really a bad thing?

And furthermore, oddly creepy. What do you want with a scan of my face, Kraft?
