Food int the Future

In my food research paper i decided to talk about what food will be like in the future. I'm pretty sure people don't just sit round and ask themselves what they'll be eating in the future, which is why i decided to research it. A lot of the articles i read pretty much had the same ideas. I'm sure we've all heard about what a good source of protein insects are, just like meat. Also 3-D foods, i read about how a company tried to make a 3-D cheeseburger, it looked like a cheeseburger, but tasted nothing like it. Most 3D printers are deposition printers, meaning they deposit layers of raw materials in a process known as addictive manufacturing, some examples would be pizza, stuffed pasta, and brownies. They also talked about how there would be GMO everything, which stands for genetically modified organism. Today, a lot of food crops, such as corn and soybeans, are genetically modified.However,  I didn't realize how important algae could be. If scientists can get a good understanding on it, it could be another source of food we'll be eating one day. It could provide a solution to food shortages. Some futurologist believe that in the next five to seven years meat will double in price, making it a luxury item. "The best possible change for the American diet would be less meat and less processed food. More real cooking. If we reach young people now and give them better options, they could open the current way of eating in one generation." - Daniel Patterson
