    You take a small step in the right direction with that mindset. It can be hell on earth, but it could rather be a ticket out of state-sponsored dependancy. The difference is who is in control.

    can't we just wear necklaces of cheerios and call it a day?
    seriously, there are some interesting applications regarding the the growth of food cells in these 3D designs.

    Sad isn't it. At least Tang looked appetizing, and we were getting ourselves into space back then.
    By the way, I have just started reading the Tail of the Dragon. I can see I am in for a wild ride! :)

    We have been using 3-D printers to make patterns for castings for years. Making food is something new... the product reminds me of the food cubes from Agenda 21... I think I would rather have oatmeal...

    Well yes. By now most everyone knows that gun parts can be made by 3d printers. I would not, however, call it crock when steak dinners can be printed. It's been years since they can print medicine and blood vessels.

    what a BS project! the japanese have been eating seaweed for centuries without the need of a 3D printer. what a crock and waste of money. I'll go dust off my old dehydrator and make some interesting shapes out of pineapples and beef-can I be head of the "project"?
    now, guns (and any other tool for that matter)-that's useful
