[sudo-discuss] "It Tastes Like Chicken" dep't: 3D-printed "phood"?

[GtwoG PublicOhOne]

This might be of interest to biohackers and food hackers, and 3D printer
hackers:

"French physical chemist Herve This says every foodstuff is made up of a
basic chemical mixture - and so it's possible to create nutritious
dishes from powders, oils and liquids that contain the building-blocks
of food, rather than conventional raw ingredients...."

The video shows Professor This making up a fresh serving of something
that could be cookie dough for Soylent Orange.  At the end of the video,
with a bit of garnish, it even looks like futuristic sculptureon the plate.

No need for farm animals, no need for vegetables, no need for fruit, and
fortunately, no need for eating worms.  Professor This calls it
"Note-By-Note cuisine" but I'd call it "phood."

Whoever invents a 3-D printerfor using this stuff, like the food
dispenser on Star Trek, is goingto earna fortune.  "Burger, medium, with
a pickle.  Tea, Earl Gray, hot."  Or at least, "Phood, orange with blue
swirls, spicy."
