… why though? It’s not like you’re not having to grow the same amount of cells, etc, so you might as well just grow them in aero-/hydro-ponic systems…
3D-printed carrot does not rely on large areas of land or maintenance costs, can be cheaper

It’s combining two technologies. One for vat grown nutritional plant cells, and one for turning that vat grown cell into palatable shapes and textures.
It’s an interesting tech and the more of these we try out, the more likely we’ll find something that succeeds.

But why 3D printing instead of, say, injection molding? Seems overly complicated for making such a mundane shape.

Oh that’s what that is. I kept seeing that image and thinking it was a shitpost.

How about controlling the amount of people and thus not being in a constant state of threat?
Would help the climate too. We make the absolute dumbest civilization ever

Eugenics. The crowd beating this drum always reinvents eugenics with a new mask.

Free access to contraceptives, proper sex education, and protecting abortion rights would go a long way to reducing the birth rate.

You’re a kid aren’t you? Holy shit. I wish I had half your confidence when dishing out an opinion.

You’re right. Overpopulation is not an issue because your feelings tell you so.
Also, I didn’t mean to make you so upset that you’re going through my comment history.

Grow carrots. Make goop. Print carrots from goop. Makes perfect sense.

This is like the failed Juicero machine. You buy overpriced, proprietary bags of juice and then install them in an overpriced, proprietary machine which squeezes the bag into your cup.
