Daily Talker: Printed Food For Soldiers

A local research company is testing out an innovative new method of feeding troops at war: 3D printed food. The Natick Soldier Research, Development and Engineering Center has received funding to begin testing the food. Basically, ground protein is run through heavy rollers and then dried out. What comes out at the other end is a chewable food that resembles a Fruit Rollup, but this version is healthier. A soldier in the field will have a sensor that tells them they are in need of nutrients. Then, a printed meal would be ready back on base. What do you think of the plan to feed printed food to soldiers who are at war?
