‘Foodini’: the machine that lets you print your own food

First there was the 3D printer – where anything from a toy car to a handgun could be created in hours.

Now scientists have turned their skills to revolutionising home baking.

Inventors of the 3D printer, the machine that can build anything from toy cars to handguns, have unveiled a new prototype they hope will revolutionise home cooking.

The device, dubbed the “Foodini”, squirts out anything from pizza or pasta to cakes in a variety of shapes – from dinosaurs to spelling out names with letters.

What a waste of time this is, for starters a spokesman for the company admitted that this machine doesn't actually cook your food all it does it keep it lukewarm. Also this machine will cost £835 and not be on sale until mid-2014. 

So this revolution these so-called scientists are hoping to create is that in a few hours you’ll be able to print-off a cold inedible pizza that’s shaped like a dinosaur in your kitchen, presumably right next to an oven that will allow you to cook a much larger pizza in 20 minutes that you can eat once it's done. 

When I read stories like this all I can think is are these people so bored that they just thought hmm how ridiculous a product can we come up with that we could still sell it to enough gullible idiots to make a profit, because there’s really no other reason for a food printer.
