3D Diets

Two and a half hours. Thats how long it takes to make a pizza from scratch using fresh and healthy ingrediants. Two and a half hours of constant attentive work in the kitchen, or you could just press a button. A company called Natural Machines has invented something that can do just that, a 3D printer that, using fresh ingredients, makes food. They call it the "foodini" and it's fairly revolutionary. With a push of a button you can effortlessly make dishes ranging from pizza to stuffed ravioli. The foodini works similarly to a regular 3D printer, but instead of loading in plastics that are then melted and reformed into whatever is being printed the foodini uses ingredients that are loaded into steel capsules to make whatever dish you choose. And you can choose, included with the foodini is a cloud storage base that has a huge variety of recipes to choose from. While they are only selling to professional kitchens right now, Natural Machines plans on releasing another model that is available to all for approximately 1000 dollars.
This technology could be a huge push in eating healthy. The foodini capsules require fresh ingredients, so they would only have a shelf life of about 3-5 days, ensuring that your meal is fresh and healthy. Not only that, but since it only requires a button push, it makes family meals and "home cooked meals" easier than ever, since all the prep work and time is taken out of it. This new tech can help push families to eat better and together, a true American value that is unfortunately on the decline. Natural Machines plans on manufacturing for the household version in early 2015, so be on the look out.
