Ok my comment definitely showed a bias so let’s give foodini a chance and form your own opinions:

Lightman serves on the advisory board of Natural Machines, a Barcelona-based company that is getting ready to launch a new 3-D printer called Foodini that will allow both amateur home-cooks and Michelin star chefs to manipulate food in ways that weren’t previously possible—at least commercially. The machine, which will be released later this year, can produce almost any shape and process many different inputs (not simply chocolate, like other proof of concepts). Homemade pasta of almost any shape and size, perfectly packed veggie burgers, carefully portioned, identically shaped servings of mashed potatoes—these things will all be easy tasks for the new food toy.

What do you think?  Will this stop at mashed potatoes and sauces or are they going to try to print synthetic meats and other stuff?  Is this a way to make nutritious meals that are tasty or is it another way of processing foods which have shown to be mostly unhealthy?

Feel free to comment on this one!
