This is where I thought the future was…

Fuck printing random bots of plastic. Causing more pollution.

Printing food. Add the components and it prints cakes layer by layer. Any food.

Add apple and print an apple. Print anything. Hopefully we get new research into printing meat layer by layer.

Food should be far cheaper than it is. Suppliers don’t want to flood the market as they need to get a set price for their commodity. Yet we have dairy farmers killing off steers that could be given to poor communities.

Same issue with everything. Food is not finite.
