How to 3-D Print a Steak

Intensive farming has helped to create a meat industry worth over $300 billion a year, but an appetite for beef has put the planet under incredible strain. Counter Space heads to Spain to explore the future of meat stopping at restaurants serving up steaks aged 20 years to just 40 minutes.

The 3d Steak straight up looks like spam cooked and uncooked ngl

*just 3D printing out* my dinner tonight lmfao.

[missjem]

What I got out of this, is that in the future rich people will be eating that delicious steak the rest of us will be eating solyent green.

I’m telling u in the future we’ll be 3D printing hotpockets at 3 in the morning

Reporter: “it’s really good...”
Chefs: 🥰🥰🥰
Reporter: “I mean, obviously it doesn’t taste like a real steak.”
Chefs: 😖😖😖

The waitress: How would you like your beef sir?
Me: Oh.. ill take it 3D printed

“It turns the fat under the skin into muscle” you mean all I need to do is give my gut a massage with a stick and I’ll have abs?

Gordon is basically the Spanish Morgan Freeman.

Gordon is a good man. I hope his business is successful and he and his cattle live lovely lives.

This whole comment section really doesn’t see the point of this video...it’s not about 3D printing steak for the rest of our lives, it’s about changing the way the meat industry raises livestock.

This was an extremely sensual documentary about meat

As a hunter. I would rather eat this 3D steak than one from a slaughterhouse.

The meat from someone like this man would be truly appreciated on my plate. Knowing the animal lived a loved life and is now providing nutrients for myself and my family.

If you want meat go out to the wilderness and get it. I bet then a lot of people would choose not to because despite what they say they can’t take that life. Hesitant.. afraid, and remorseful.

Big companies do not appreciate the life being taken only the profits that come from it.

Truly sad.

If everyone eating imitation or replica meat. Wouldn’t that make “real meat” a luxury good? Because there will be less of it

No one can tell me that steak taste anywhere close to as good as a real one

I wish cows and other livestocks were raised and slaughtered more humanely like it appears at José Gordón’s farm. I think industrial farms should be illegal around the world, no matter what country. I like the fact most of his cows live a relatively good life before being slaughtered for our consumption. I like the fact his cows live for a good 20 years before being slaughtered for food, compared to 1-2 years at industrial farms. I’m not sure at what age cows would live to if they weren’t slaughtered, but 20 years is much better than only 1-2 years of life.

Don’t get me wrong, I love me a nice medium rare steak, but I would feel a lot better if I knew my steak came from a cow who lived a good life, was treated with respect, wasn’t cramped up in a small space, roamed around open land, was transported humanely and not days without food or water, and was slaughtered humanely without any fear, suffering, or pain. I would even be willing to pay more for said steak and meat. I hope plant-based meats becomes more mainstream, becomes a real alternative to _real_ meat, and _real_ meat becomes more of a big treat that’s eaten a couple of times a year rather than it being an everyday good.

Wish they would talk about how expensive Gordon's meat is. You can scale up the 3D printed stake sustainably, while we already know what scaling up beef production looks like.

bae: wyd
me: just 3D printing out my dinner for tonight

[thegoogs]

This “meat” looks like a huge mis-steak

[dalefrye]

That steak looks like a 3 year old made it out of play-dough

[ioanabc]

I want beef but i want less industrial factories and more of these healthy environments and cows being happy and living a life
