With advancements in 3D printing and meatless products, why not merge the two and print some meatless steaks? It's probably not as good as the real thing, but 3D printing food could be a useful thing in the near future.
A startup in Rehovot, Israel called Redefine Meat is trying to figure out how to replace parts of real meat with "alt-muscle," "alf-fat," and "alt-blood." The so-called steak would have all the tasty qualities of a real steak but would be entirely plant based. Not sure how we feel about that yet, but if it tastes good why not give it a shot? According to Redefine, their fake steak would use 95 percent less land and 90 percent less carbon dioxide and water to make.
Who knows? Maybe in the near future we'll all be chomping down on 3D printed plant based steaks! Now if only we could get a real Star Trek-style food replicator. That would be aweome.
