Is the future of food 3-D printing? NASA seems to think so. The organization recently gave an engineer named Anjan Contractor a grant for $125,000 to develop his 3-D food printer. The device uses combinations of powders—which are actually just condensed molecules containing the building blocks of food—to create a selection of menu items through the 3-D printing process. Because the powders have a shelf life of about 30 years, they’d be the perfect, nutritious accompaniment on a really long road trip—like one to Mars. But Contractor and NASA also see larger implications for the 3-D printed pizzas. If the technology can be perfected and produce food on a large scale, it could help feed humanity through an abundant amount of molecule powders that produce almost no waste … Discuss

 

Do you ever look at the nutritional information on the back of a food item and think, “These chips aren’t that bad for me?” That’s because the number of calories, fat grams and other nutritional stats are based on estimated “servings sizes”, an amount determined by the federal government based on three decade-old research on how much people actually eat.

Have you ever wondered what a McDonalds hamburger would look like if you left it for more than a decade? In 1999 a man named David Whippl put the fast-food meal in his coat pocket, where it stayed for the first two years, and then decided to hang on to it for the last 14. Terrifyingly, the burger did not decompose, and today looks almost exactly the same as it did the day he bought it. Morgan Spurlock should live forever … Discuss

 

The world’s top scientists, NASA engineers and theoretical quantum physicists have finally unveiled the results of years of painstaking research and development, in their mythical quest to find ways to cram even more cheese into a pizza. Introducing, Pizza Hut’s Crazy Cheesy Crust. The revolutionary new pizza contains a crust that is actually 16 linked bread bowls, each oozing with their own pools of even more cheese. Congratulations on a job well done, scientists. We’re still waiting on ways to jam more meats into KFC’s Double Down, so it’s time to get back to work .. Discuss
