Topic	Feels like we're due for a big technical breakthrough. What do you hope/think we
SpeedDemon20 02/14/21 11:51:46 PM #40:	GrabASnickers posted... As someone who still eats meat, this would be cool. I tell myself that it doesn't really matter unless we have large scale dietary changes, cause it helps me justify still doing it. I feel like we're actually pretty good with this already, though. I think it's more of a cultural/social obstacle than a technical one. But a lot of it technically speaking is just about masking it with the right seasonings/accessories. If you want stuff like steak or fried chicken where it's basically a hunk of meat only, then yeah that isn't at as great of a place right now. I think we're only at the beginning stages of plant-based meats. The production rate is nowhere near traditional meats and we've only touched a few types of foods (mostly burgers AFAIK). I hope we can see plant-based meats as an additional option (i.e.: instead of chicken, carne asada, or lengua burritos, you can also choose plant-based chicken, plant-based beef, or plant-based lengua). The most important point to reach is making it the cheaper option. Unbridled9 posted... What I expect is that we'll see 3-D printed food that gets flavored like, well, 'flavor ink' for lack of a better way to put it. That is to say you'll order, say, a steak and your printer will use a nutrient paste to print out a steak while several different flavor jets add in the flavor. So you could have steak for one person, chicken for the next, foei gras for the next, and round it off with a fourth person who wants baby back ribs and you all either couldn't tell or it would be close enough that you wouldn't care. That sounds like a nightmare based on my experiences with printing black and white and the printer demanding magenta before doing anything.
