There are a variety of tradeshows and we have an assortment of projects going on around the country at all times. It is, of course, necessary for us to attend the tradeshows and check up on our projects from time to time. In one such instance, my boss purchased and read "The Omnivore's Dilemma," a book that traces lineage of the food we eat in America.

I happened across an interesting article on the future of food that was very sci-fi. The gentleman in the article is compared to Willy Wonka, and his vision of the future includes one in which we all grow algae on our rooftops and print our hamburgers and french frys like some kind of savory term paper.
Hmm...ok.
There's two ways to look at it. Let's say you have a food printer and eight cartridges, and grow eight crops on the roof, and that's all you need to replicate any food product...
