He tells us to slow down, eat mostly plants, and my personal favorite: “Don’t eat anything your great grandmother wouldn’t recognize as food.”

The concept of creating food from a printer will still seem alien to many people and will certainly divide opinion, with some prospective buyers keen to experiment and others wishing to stick to “real” food sources; however, 3D printed food is becoming more “real” at an impressive rate … Continue reading “Is 4D Printed Food Soon Going To Become A Reality?”
