Would You Eat 3D Printed Food?
The Chubb Group asked a group of questions about 3D printed food and products as part of their 2015 Consumer Perceptions of Business Risk Survey, and it turns out that just 23% of the people queried would consider eating 3D printed food. The responses were much more receptive to the idea of using other 3D printed objects. Fully 77% of those asked said they could see themselves using a 3D printed synthetic or prosthetic limb, and 64% said they'd consider wearing shoes or clothing produced by a 3D printer. A less overwhelming 58% said they'd consider using a 3D printed automotive part, but a smaller majority of respondents, 51%, were comfortable with the idea of living in a printer-built house.

Below is a look at some 3D printed foodstuffs:

Well, I've eaten most things.
So, yeah as long as i was happy it was safely produced.
ie: if it takes 8 hours to print a burger then the meat part has been kept at an unsafe temperature for way too long and it'll make you very ill.
But assuming it was bacterially safe to eat - sure why not ?
I've eaten a corn dog in the states - possibly one of the worst eating experiences man can experience.
That HAS to be worse than anything 3d printed :-)

Isn't all macaroni essentially 3D printed already?

Well, that would be a stretch on the definition. True that nearly all of it is extruded and then cut to length. But extruding something isn't really 3D printing. Extruded pasta is more like eating the filament rather than a printed item. In my mind anyway, a 3D printed object requires depositing some material in layers to form a shape whether by SLS or FFF or similar processes. So technically, no, pasta isn't 3D printed any more than breakfast cereals are (they too are extruded). Peeps are extruded too, they considered 3D printed? Not by me anyway

I think best food for me is the one I do it myself. Even the risks are higher... ))

I don't know, pasta is definitely additive manufacturing. So yeah I'd call it 3d printing :-)

What about decorative cake frosting? Even though it's usually by hand, isn't it pretty much identical to 3d printing?
