This is the promise of food printer technology as we move from simply printing ink on paper
to 3d printing of parts and objects, to next generation food printers. These aren t the artificial food devices that science fiction movies have been promising.
Instead, they are devices with the very real potential for turning real apples into perfect apples.
What if it were possible to print a full plate of your favorite food that filled you up,

The Digital Fabricator Next Generation Food Printers Food is a basic building block of life. We have a hard time going longer than a day without it.
The food we eat has become a key part of our culture, our entertainment, and our physical health.
In fact, food touches virtually everything we do, yet we are cooking less and growing more and more dependent on others for the food we eat.
Marcelo Coelho and Amit Zoran a couple ingenious minds at MIT working on the Cornucopias Project,
have created a very visual way for us to imagine next generation food that will come from printers.
Amit Zoran has developed a series of digital devices that may one day be use to produce the food we eat.
The virtuoso mixer, the robotic chef and the digital fabricator all aim to bring the tools we use to make food up to date with digital technology.
Cornucopia printer Cornucopias printing process begins with an array of food canisters filled with the cook s#foods of choice.
allowing for very exact and elaborate combinations of food. Philips food printer Philips Food Creation#device has been inspired by the so-called molecular gastronomists.
These are chefs who deconstruct food and then reassemble it in completely different ways. The food printer works with various edible ingredients and then combine
and print them in the desired shape and consistency. James King s Dressing the Meat of Tomorrow James King s Dressing the Meat of Tomorrow,#is a project that examines how we can best design in-vitro meat
and other artificial foods of the future in order to remind ourselves what they are and where they came from.
Yanko Design s prototype for the Electrolux Molã culaire food printer The brilliant thinkers at Yanko Design have developed a new device called the Electrolux Molã culaire,
a 3d molecular food printer that relies on the experimental molecular cooking technology. New designs for printed food The Molã culaire is based on the same layer-by-layer printing technique that arranges small particles from a set of ingredients.
Within minutes, it prints out three-dimensional desserts, complex structures, shapes for molecular dishes, and patterns for decorating a meal.
Virtually limitless food presentation styles and techniques According to Yanko Design, you simply insert a blister pack into the reservoir, place Molã culaire on top of a plate,
and press the start button. Users can also create their own recipes with special software and their own ingredients.
we will need to reimagine the entire process of getting food from the farm to the dinner table.
Food printer technology is clearly a quantum leap forward. In the future, we will only be consuming food that our body has a positive reaction to.
As an example, people in the future will be able to order a 13.2%fat cheeseburger with 2. 7 grams of potassium and 3. 6 grams of calcium, coupled with a hint of almond and banana flavoring, on a sesame seed
We will be transitioning from a distinct set of crop options in the past to an unlimited number of food options in the future.
Will the primary food-stock differentiators be grown into the food, or will they simply be added as a step in the food processing line?
My guess is that it will be a combination of both. There is no such thing as a pork molecule#The labels we use today to describe our diets, labels such as vegetarian, Kosher, glucose free, vegan,

#Top two foods linked to weight loss: Surprising study results This is one of the foods that is linked to weight loss.
A Harvard School of Public health study provides lots of information that could help you eat healthier
One goal of the study was to analyze specific foods and activities that seemed connected to long-term, gradual weight gain#r loss.
First, what were the foods that piled on the pounds? Unsurprisingly, the top foods that promoted weight gain were a round up of the usual suspects.
Here they are in approximate order, with the worst offenders first: Potato chips Potatoes, especially French fries Sugar-sweetened beverages (soda and fruit juices) Unprocessed red meats Processed meats Sweets and desserts Refined grains Unless your goal is to gain weight,
these Seductive 7#foods should be eaten in moderation. As for foods associated with weight loss,
I was surprised#nd, yes, a bit shocked#o learn the identity of the Top 2. Clue:
The two specific foods that were linked to greatest weight loss were:(1) yogurt, the gold medalist,
So was I. Nuts are a high-calorie food, and good yogurt tastes like dessert. What is the why#behind these results?
All five weight-loss-related foods cause people to feel more satiety (fullness) because of higher fiber content and slower digestion.
they will consume less of other, less wholesome foods, like those potato chips and sugary snacks above.
The Fab 5 foods are not magic. You still need to watch your portions. Still, the idea that the five healthy foods/food groups might help control appetite is a helpful insight.
If your goal is to maintain or lose weight, increase your consumption of the Fab 5 foods
and reduce your intake of the Seductive 7 . What foods might you willingly reduce? Which foods would you gladly increase?

#Podponics â#shipping containers transformed into miniature hydroponic farms Podponics Podponics is new hope for urban agriculture.
The startup, based in Atlanta, is pursuing a new kind of recycling. They are transforming old shipping containers into miniature hydroponic farms that can be used to grow food anywhere.
Matt Liotta started Podponics in 2010 and it is already supplying about 200 pounds of leafy greens a week using six converted containers.
they arent just adding a new food supply, they are adding a handful of jobs.
and raising money for locals, Podponics food could be very economically sound. More importantly, Backhaus, an avid supporter of organic and local produce, thinks food grown next door without pesticides could be a key ingredient in keeping ourselves healthy.
More nutrients, no pesticides, little fertilizer. It makes for good food. Personally, Im pretty sure Podponics isnt the ultimate solution to urban food problems.
But it is a great short term solution. From Atlanta to Shanghai, shipping containers retrofitted for hydroponics could serve as a great way to popularize urban agriculture with the world.
This is a very feasible stepping stone to move humanity away from traditional farms and into hyper-local food production.
Decades from now I hope well see the underground labyrinths or skyscraper farms that always seem to appear in science fiction.
