Would You Dare To Eat From A Food Printer?

3D Printers for Food, Seriously!?

Would You Dare To Eat From A Food Printer?

In The United States of America, you would expect that the comical presidential campaign for 2017 is our final act of disgrace. However, since 2014, food has begun to be mass produced in 3-Dminensional printers, solely for convenience and healthier consumption. What?! Let’s take a few more bites of this topic for knowledge’s sake!

These 3-Dimensional printers work by loading ingredients into capsules, which consecutively filter out into layers on the printer’s platform. The goal is for Americans to specifically prepare their meal from scratch. That is, loading these food capsules with healthy ingredients, allowing us to become more conscious of what we digest. Foods can be created in various shapes, sizes, and colors, attracting a high number of interested consumers.

Are there any positive aspects of this 3-Dimensional printer? Foods that contain high nutritional value but are difficult to consume when of older age, can be produced with the printer, allowing consumption to be an easier process. Industries that primarily focus on producing Confectionary for their customers are relying heavily on these printers for precision and personalization of their treats.

What about cooking on a stove? Time consumption is relatively similar, and a person can just as well use natural ingredients to prepare their healthy meals. Does the grating of cheese and the slicing of vegetables really decrease our energy level? I don’t believe so. How about the gel-like substance that our “daily” foods are created by? Our stomachs wouldn’t be able to observe the printing process, rather digest the food made by various gooey substances which are healthy, of course.

It is claimed to be healthier than our accustomed style of cooking. Agree or disagree?

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
