4 foods Americans will be eating in 30 years

When it comes to the amount of meat consumed per capita, the U.S. comes in 2nd place. This kind of diet is not only a concern for people's health but also the environment. To alleviate the problem, researchers are coming up with alternative foods that could change the way we eat in the future.

3D printed food makes no sense. You're still using the same non-enviromemtal-friendly foods as its ingredients.

[@jonahhillman6491]

Ernest Choy Yes, but it cuts processing costs and reduces wastage.

[@Psychopatz]

But it can be also used as mass production like the crickets and cockroaches are turned into paste to turn into shapable foods like chicken nuggets so that those little brat midget dont complain about theri foods :)

[@milkyman8705]

[@thereaper2615]

[@shadowthewolfaj7278]

What does everyone have against bugs?? I mean, we eat crabs, they look like bugs. We also eat mold... and a lot of basically rotten food like bread and pickles... I get it that a lot of people are afraid of them, but... come on... EDIT: Pickles and bread are fermented, that's what I meant...

[@wmoros4902]

ikr and cheese yet we complain from "bugs", heck is like eating a normal animal, but we still eat foods with millions of chemicals and not complain.

[@insertnamehere8336]

[@user-ev5gj8xe2b]

i dont eat crabs i dont eat mold pickles and bread arent rotten our brains are meant to be afraid of bugs theyre known to cause disease and sting us and poison us and be a general niuseance

[@johnfranciscullen4518]

ShadowTheWolf AJ Most people aren't fond of things that are weird or different and some just absolutely hate anything that's different from the ordinary. Though I can see how spiders, scorpions, and other insects can be gross but a grasshopper burger is actually something I am willing to try. Heck it might be even more tastier than a beef burger.

[@far2kthoughts158]

This sounds like from back to the future where they said in 2015 they will have flying cars but guess what nothing have really changed in 30years

[@explosiverift2037]

TheOnly 0506 well farm land is decreasing rapidly and greenhouse emissions have already started to f*ck over most of the planet, so the algae and lab grown food will likely happen, at least in some countries, I doubt insect consumption will become normal. 3D printed food makes no sense though, it’s just overcomplicating lab grown food, so most seems accurate.

[@beepboop89]

TheOnly 0506 I heard that people are making flying cars. They just need to work on stuff so it can be a flying car. I don’t remember where they made it.

[@SeraphStryker]

Ill eat all of it except bugs

Have you ever tried them? If not, don't knock it until you try it. Experience things out of your comfort zone.

[@GoldenstarArtist]

Unless It's cheaper; it won't happen. But knowing America; the price of this would be godly high even if it is cheaper to make. After all it's all about money, not helping the world.

[@user-sm6iv9jd4s]

GoldenstarArtist mass production would bring down the price

[@SpadesHeart]

3 of the things on this list have great potential to be cheaper. Insects, algae and lab grown meat all use less resources to produce the same nutrition. The issues now would be getting to economies of scale which would mean getting people to eat them en masse

3D printed food? 3D Printing is a prototype. Not something that should be for full scale mass producing.

Harmful chemicals* is your vocabulary limited to 100 words?

[@oliverturner1649]

You realize of course that Arsenic (a well known poison) occurs naturally in relatively large quantities in the human body.. don't you? Hell Phosphorus (also extremely poisonous) is part of our DNA. Oh and you know.. Fluorine, the gas that will burn literally anything it touches on contact.. you'll die if you have no Fluorine in your body.. While not essential to survival, even Uranium and Plutonium occur naturally in humans. These are all very harmful chemicals.. also present in almost all our food. All the chemical components of bleach are vital to human survival.. people need to get rid of this stupid idea that naturally grown food doesn't contain dangerous chemicals. 100g of soy-beans contains 194mg of white phosphorus, used in US incendiary chemical weapons. The lethal dose of white phosphorus when ingested orally is 0.1mg of phosphorus per 100g of body mass.

[@williammarston1861]

Locusts are the most delicious seasonal delicacy we eat here in my part of the world

[@genericasian5699]

This video is too biased towards advancement. Be honest with yourself, people aren't going to start eating that stuff. It's like a one time thing accomplishment. The first lab grown steak, the first 3D printed meal, the first whatever. But practically, no one will eat this stuff. Especially bugs. What the heck were you thinking putting that on the list? If you saw a guy grilling cockroaches and grasshoppers next to your food, would you still eat it? Heck, I'd be trying to not throw up.

[@jonahhillman6491]

Generic Asian American Guy When we talk about eating bugs,very don't mean boils cricked soup. We mean things like cricket flour.

[@holyzhuvs9082]

Generic Asian American Guy you can dry and grind up the bugs and use them in a lot of things....they're not talking about just tossing you a whole cricket, I'm pretty sure you wouldn't even know it was in your food..

[@ghost-yp8tc]

Generic Asian American Guy I ate a dried cricket with salt once,It wasn't that bad as you'd expect.

[@xungnham1388]

That's the way people use to look at lobster and shrimp. Now look at where we are

[@NoahMiller13579]

I've eaten insects before, scorpions too. When it's prepared well, it tastes great. Better than peanuts. With lab grown meat, I see that being a viable source of food. There are already GMO crops sold everywhere. There are still kinks to work out, like overall energy use, but it's a good idea. And there would still be a dairy industry, so farming wouldn't be impacted too badly, and it's not like this is going to completely remove non-grown meat from the market. In fact, some of these can be combined. Grasshopper nuggets made with the printing? Shape them into kangaroos and sell them as Hoppers. Kids would love it. Algae meal would almost certainly be a kind of filler at first. Let's be honest, people wouldn't stop going to McDonald's if it came out that they used farmed algae or crickets as a filler in their food. Their sales didn't go down when the pink slime thing came out.

[@btstrash1710]

[@mr.jankowski1787]

No, we need to stop animal agriculture. It's not the amount that's using up resources, it's the animals. They use so much water, land, food, and they produce so much methane. How much people eat has nothing to do with that.

[@anaellemay5245]

[@dionaeamuscipula6649]

We aren't even in the top five most obese countries.

[@gamaliel5584]

so i dont get the 3D printing food part, where do you get the "ink" from?

[@josedaq7677]

I can give people a pass on most of this stuff but declining lab grown meats in favor of "natural" stuff is simply illogical. They taste the same, have the same texture, except one uses more resources to make. Tbh lab grown foods can even be genetically modified to be more nutritious and do less damage to us in terms of carcinogenic red meats. Im just saying, dont knock it off because your too set in your ways of being against anything done in a lab.

[@NiseGen-13]

Anyways where are the ingredients coming from

[@coldlikeaspritesoda4418]

Guys, first of all, i have to tell you, bugs taste hella good, (depending on what bug, i had an ant that tasted like dark chocolate) second of all, what's the difference between eating a teensy tiny bug with little fat, than eating a steak with tons of fat? Third of all, there is no difference between killing a giant cow to eat, than eating a small bug.

[@bellsnowgrehg3501]

I had freeze dried crickets recently and honestly they weren't that bad, tasted almost like roasted pumpkin seeds. If you ground them up finely and pressed then into Patty form with the right seasoning, they could probably make a decent burger substitute.

[@niko2002]

"May I take your order", "yes, ill order crickets Mam".

[@ilikeceral3]

Algae's main breakthrough will probably be as animal feed-it can counteract the methane produced by cows and is a shitload cheaper and easier to produce. It also could provide more nutrients without having to be added manually to the feed so the meat could wind up tasting better too.

[@AstroLoops69]

As an American I have no problem with these alternatives, but watch out, other picky ass people make up 85% of this country

[@tibbers3755]

like those "farm grown free range non GMO all natural no fillers or antibiotics" people? they make me sick with that. It helps us make much more food to sustain a larger population, yet youre pussying out and insisting that we use obsolete farming methods

That sounds like using a solidify agent which does not have a natural/non-toxic version and using some sort of FtL (Food-to-Liquid) machines distributing greenhouse gases, that might slow the ozone layer regeneration after the "Concorde". The greenhouse gases might destroy it even more but as technology progresses the machines should re-burn the gases to reduce emissions.
