Mass use of printed food can't be far off.  I'm semi-serious.

I'm at an impasse.

On one hand I want to watch that video to learn more. 

But at the same time I don't think I'm going to be able to unsee that process.

Wouldn't that be epic though. If everyone had a food printer at home and you could order from anywhere and it'd just print it out.

Grocery shopping consists of selecting rolls of various food filaments.
