The Cornell Creative Machines Lab has invented a 3-D printer that not only allows you to print food, but lets you create almost any design imaginable with your favorite ingredients. Working with experts from the French Culinary Institute, Cornell’s new technology may soon be available for chefs and home use, allowing enterprising cooks to customize new and interesting dishes with healthier ingredients. We’ve seen a similar concept designed by a pair of students at MIT, but this ready made design takes things to a whole new level. Spaceship nuggets anyone?

Is humanity even trying anymore, or is everyone just content to quit?

in what context?

I agree that this makes less sense in terms of haute cuisine but im sure there will be revolutionary applications for this thing in both food and and non culinary applications.
