			When trying to imitate natural food:<br>
			While both at the molecular scale and at the macroscopic scale it is important to make a a good copy there is a size range in-between
			that is neither important from a nutritional/smell/taste/look perspective nor important from a look/texture perspective.

			This is very convenient since replicating this intermediate scale highly accurately would be extremely difficult (not to say impossible) to archive.

			With the term "'''food structure irrelevancy gap'''" here on [[Main Page\|this wiki]] we will refer to a size range in food in which human bodies do not care about the structure of the food.
