Would You Eat 3D Printed Food?

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
