3D Printing of food

Talk about everything else that may happen in life that doesn't happen inside the real world of Space Gaming... is there really anything outside of Space sim/Combat Gaming?

3D Printing of food

Post by sscadmin »

I saw this article and laughed a little....
[url]https://www.zerohedge.com/technology/meat-future-kfc-3d-printing-chicken-nuggets[/url]
I guess at some point we have to figure out how to get to the Star Trek replicator technology and this is the first step.... but the thing is should I trust the contents of that nugget
So I guess the question to ask everyone, would you eat some 3D printed nuggets? ;)

Agreed, but imagine the size of the machine and all of the nutrient containers you would need to make a simple dinner :) personally I would much rather them focus on life extension... I am getting older and I don't want too :)
Just think everyone.... this could be in our future and where we pay $100+ for a REAL steak dinner

They are getting close, it looks close to real

Been at least 10yrs since I have had KFC... my stomach has gotten more sensitive as I get older it seems. Home cooked food usually is the best for me. It's strange... its like my body has finally realized hey... why you eating this fast food or restaurant food there is something in it I don't like. I started eating home more and amazing how much better I feel. When I do go out to eat I definitely choose food that I know needs to have fresh food in it as much as possible ;)

Well, I got a secret, and don't give us away
I got some real food tins for my 91st birthday
And your grandmother bought them
Way down in the new antique food store
And for beans and for bacon, I will open up my door

Fresh home-cooked food is the way to go!

<grins> We'll probably all be eating insect protein, or meat grown in a vat, by then!

If the production passes safe standards for food, it might be not so awful. In the age of advanced technology, efficiency (and don't forget the greenhouse gases from farming, animal rights, etc.). We are eating food from conveyors, and if anyone has been working on a milk or meat fabric, would have stopped taking that nutrition already.
'Fast food' relics will handover to supersonic or cosmic 'speedy food'.

Home dinners' preparation is already an art. And there are many men and women who enjoy preparing them.

It will definitely be interesting to see where 3D printing of food will be in the next 5 years ... only a matter of time before we are getting irritated at our 3D cook :)
