I think financing is the most constraining part of "where it's possible". Drug trials are far more expensive, but easier to finance. Food trials should be cheaper, but more difficult to finance.

Have any researchers tried kickstarter? I think there would be a lot of people who would be willing to pay for this kind of stuff rather than drug research.
