 This 3D Printed Food thing is just tech bro self flagellation, same with AI and Web3, they all use the same circle jerk language of "accessibility to the poor and underprivileged". You know what's really accessible to some poor African or Hispanic living in bumbfuck nowhere? A normal carrot that is planted in the ground, not a collection of preprocessed proteins shaped into the rough shape of a carrot by some 100k food printer with 3 dozen moving, proprietary parts that can only be used with electricity and a stable Internet connection.
