Printiing food will not only eliminate world hunger, it will save a lot of animals.

I would say that in the States or Europe, at least, there will be sanctions for these patents.

Not with copyright.

i have to agree with that.

but beyond food fabrication, food production stands paramount and i will take it one step further and say that gmo crops stand a better chance of eliminating world hunger... but, once again... not with copyrights.

How about today's news. "RAF jet with 3-d printed parts clears test" !

I would still like my food cooked the "old-fashioned" way. :-)
land_stander: yes. That's the idea I got from a recent BBC program.

what does it mean to print food?

It means we won't have to rely on "real" food to survive.
It could possibly solve world hunger.

There isn't a world hunger problem... there is a world waste problem. The problem isn't that there isn't food the problem is it is sitting in warehouses over in countries where people are starving because they can't decide how to give it out to people. (i have worked for one of these charities and seen it first hand)
