So, engineers are trying to 3-D print food. Specifically, cheesecake. Let me just say, EW. Maybe it tastes OK, but we’re a long way from adjusting our visual acceptance of printed food. Some of the early sci-fi programs had “manufactured” food. Some of it looked like glop, but some looked like food, too. Depended on the show. In this case, so far, all looks less than appetizing, but then again, if you’re hungry enough, minds change. According to this story, it took 7 ingredients to make the cheesecake. A conventional cheesecake can have as few as six ingredients (excluding the graham cracker crust which typically has a handful, mostly sweets and seasonings.) So, science. I should note that Jim has bought a 3-D printer. He’s set it up in his home office. I’m sure there will be more on that later! He’s a cheesecake fan so I’m pretty sure he’s not going to try that.
