A food freshness card emits energy tuned to the natural frequency of fresh foods. The card may include a material programmed using scalar waves. The material may be a hologram. Information is embedded into the material via a setup that uses a wave function generator to produce resonant frequencies for the application and drive wave information from a transmitting electrode to a receiving electrode. The scalar waves between the electrodes may be subjected to a wave or field source modulating the resultant wave information received at the receiving electrode. A material placed on a receiving coil at the receiving electrode receives the resultant wave information programming the material to emit energy tuned to the natural frequencies of fresh foods. Food or liquid placed within an effective radius of the card is kept fresher by exposure to the energetic information emitted by the material.
