… with 3D-printed food. "The US Army could one day have its own very own version of the Star Trek replicator. Researchers at the Natick Soldier Research, Development, and Engineering Center in Massachusetts are currently investigating ways that 3D printers could be used to create meals and rations for soldiers. "It could reduce costs because it could eventually be used to print food on demand," food technologist Mary Scerra tells Army Technology Magazine. "For example, you would like a sandwich, where I would like ravioli. You would print what you want and eliminate wasted food." Full article here

There's talk of using bovine stem cells to print steaks which might allow the faster development of tissue printers that doctors coud use to replace failing organs on humans. |

NASA is also looking at printing food (and replacement parts)and ESA has already done tests with moondustlike material to see if a moonbase could be (partially) printed… |

Great. One day you program it to print breakfast, after that a replacement arm. 'Hey! My new arm tastes like bacon!' 'Lucky you. Mine tastes like tofu.' |

Yeah Beans & Weenies was much better than Beans & Meatballs and Beef w/Spiced Sauce[looked too much like dog food !]. Of course Tuna and "Chicken or Turkey, Boned" was not bad either … Kind'a hard to screw those up … |
