What you eat ‘food’ that has come out of a printer?

3D PRINTED FOOD RESEARCH

Edith Cowan University (ECU) in WA is currently exploring how 3D food-printing technology could ‘reshape food production’, from “nutritious meals for aged-care residents”, to “customised culinary creations and sustainable processing methods”.

The research, associated with ECU’s Nutrition & Health Innovation Research Institute (NHIRI) and its Future Foods & Digital Gastronomy Laboratory, brings together food technology, nutrition science, and digital manufacturing – to envision a nightmare.

Led by researcher Dr. Liezhou Zhong, the work investigates how ingredients can be processed and deposited “to create specific shapes, textures, and formulations”.

Unlike conventional food manufacturing, which often relies on moulds, cutting, or manual shaping, the dystopian method of 3D food printing uses computer-controlled equipment to “build edible products according to a digital design”.

The approach, they say, could one day ‘offer greater control over food appearance, portion sizes, and ingredient composition’.

Yes, this is the type of crap that is going on inside our universities right now.

One ‘important focus’ of this research is the development of “more appealing meals for older people and those who experience chewing or swallowing difficulties”.

People who require puréed or texture-modified foods can face limited meal choices and unappealing food presentation. Because of this, they believe by ‘reconstructing suitable food mixtures into recognisable shapes’, 3D printing “could help improve the visual appeal of meals while retaining important nutritional components”.

A registered clinical study is currently planned to compare 3D-printed puréed appetisers with standard puréed food among 44 aged-care residents. The research is intended to ‘examine food waste, nutritional intake, preferences, and meal experiences’.

Yes, I’m sure that is the last thing our elderly who have served our country need to be fed – 3D printed fake Frankenstein foods. Unbelievable. Withdraw taxpayer funds ASAP.

Speaking of funding, ECU’s Printing an Appetite for Life research project received a reported $719,000 grant through the Australian National Health and Medical Research Council’s Ideas Grant programme – helping fuel these ridiculous think-tanks.

Examples of ‘showcased creations’ already include a white chocolate and rose cheesecake shaped like Australia, alongside ‘savoury preparations’ such as chicken kofta, pea-based appetisers, and a canapé inspired by the “democracy sausage”.

Researchers say that “digital food fabrication” could ‘support creative presentation and customised products’, and claim the technology may interest bakeries, catering businesses, and food manufacturers looking to develop their own signature brands.

Sausage rolls, brownies, cakes, and other snacks could be possible avenues for future experimentation – using a printer to deposit a “suitable filling” into a defined shape.

Dr. Liezhou Zhong and ECU’s NHIRI have already provided relevant starting points for enquiries about the research and potential collaboration opportunities.

Remind me to stay clear of any business who attempts to adopt this nonsense.

From here, they want to examine next how edible fruit and vegetables that might otherwise be discarded could be processed into ‘ingredients suitable for printing’.

Fantastic.

As 3D food printing develops, we will begin to see more stories like this emerge.

Just in August, we reported on how researchers at Southern Illinois University Carbondale have created small, 3D-printed biscuits known as “µBites” by using plastic commonly used in drink bottles, alongside waste from crops, such as corn.

Digital design, ‘nutrition science’, and food processing are merging – all in an attempt to destroy the natural food supply chain, and replace it with lab-created garbage.

We have already seen these products arrive, from chocolate to meat, and it won’t be long before plastic by-product ‘biscuits’ and 3D printed fruits will join them in the range.

I would rather starve to death than ever eat anything the elitist parasites attempt to feed us over the coming decades – especially anything that comes out of a printer.

The good news is that we still do have healthy and strong alternative networks for food and produce in Australia for now, and we can choose to vote with our wallets.

We can choose to support local farmers and community groups that cherish the wonders of agriculture and the miracle of growing real food.

Reject the supermarkets, reject the Frankenstein foods, and take control of your health.
