There needs to be a place for whimsy, even in our food. Â It would be an easy thing to reduce all of our nutritional needs to a foil-pack of slightly gluey nutrients (in-fact, Soylent has done just that). Â But for many people now, and in the future, there is a connection with the physicality of food that satisfies almost as much as the contents of the food itself.
Will this kind of delicate confectionery construction take over your supermarket shelves? Â Will everything we consume be reduced to frippery? Â Just like some people like their sandwich meat thin sliced and others thick, the 3d printed food will be a delight to a portion of the market, and a pain-in-the-ass to the rest.
