I feel like it would actually just be easier to make vertical growing factories for vegetables than do the same thing but worse by still growing the material, and then making them vegetable shaped.
Like, those cells will require the same nutrients and same growing conditions, and they naturally 3D print themselves into the shape of themselves.

Why would I want my lab-grown carrots to be carrot shaped exactly? As someone who eats quite a lot of carrots, I’d rather have my lab-grown carrots be rectangular-prism shaped for easy stacking.

Good luck inserting a rectangular-prism up your butthole.

No need to cut them up, just pop out sticks.

I’d say a sense of continuity and familiarity. It’d be weird if you’re suddenly told to eat a cube that can fulfill all of your nutritional needs when you’ve been eating foods of variable shapes for so long.

As someone who has diced, julienned, amd sliced thousands of pounds of carrots, let me assure you that most people are not eating carrot shaped carrots.

I will eat the nutri-cube and I will like it. I am proud that we’re finally entering the sci-fi era of this dystopia

Cutting them changes their flavor. They’re not as good when you cut them.
SaintWacko@midwest.social 8 months ago
That makes zero sense.
…it’s absolutely true, though. Carrots are so much better eaten whole

And better packing capabilities. Takes less room, fits more in a box = saving on transportation.

IIRC, freight companies tend to charge based on weight rather than size. That’s why designs for square liquid bottles have never taken off.
