I just thought of a new specification standard to express the
printing capabilities of 3D printers, "PCPM" Pork Chops Per Minute.
Oh boy, dinners calling.

PayPal co-founder Peter Thiel doesn't like to invest in normal

paying kids not to go to college, and now it's 3D-printed meat.
According to CNET, the Thiel Foundation announced it's donating
$350,000 to a start-up called Modern Meadow which is developing
something called bio-printing. Its ultimate aim? To print you a nice
juicy pork chop, minus all of the environmental consequences that go
into growing livestock.
Scientists have already been experimenting with bio-printing in the
field of regenerative medicine. The hope is that if you need a
kidney transplant in the future, doctors will simply be able to
print you a new one.
Apparently, growing meat is easier than growing organs. In Modern
Meadow's grant application to the Department of Agriculture, the
company points out that "as meat is a post mortem tissue, the
vascularization of the final product is less critical than in
medical applications." Mmm, I can smell that sizzling bio-printed
post mortem tissue already.
