    They already have chocolate 3D printers, and lab meat is almost or already at market somewhere and would also actually make someone money in our largely capitalist dominated world, so I’m gonna go with that.

          I think most 3D printers are food safe technically, as they get really hot, which should kill the bad stuff. I haven’t looked into the chocolate printers, but I’ve got to imagine it works pretty similarly to a standard 3D printer: nozzle gets very hot and you just insert “filament” rolls or cartridges made of chocolate instead of plastic. A meat printer would need to do a lot more, if you’re talking just completely making meat from scratch. Would be awesome, but I think we’ve still got a ways to go before those are consumer friendly.
