Starting with Frank Herbert's Dune, the concept of spice as more than a condiment, with powers over humans and their societies, enriched science fiction.
The article originates on a food website and not a news or writing focused one.
I have the feeling a staff writer, who knows food, was given the brief. "This SF movie Dune is out and it involves spice, give me 500 words of spice in SF". That is why it reads more like something you would find in those free airline magazines, than an in depth look at food and drugs in SF.
