This 3-D printing revolution...I don't think people realize the magnitude of it.

Do you realize that in a few years time, we will be able to print out edible Egg McMuffins in 3-D?

I know, it sounds crazy but the fact is, the technology will soon exist to recreate edible materials using 3-D printing. In fact, you can 3-D print a hamburger right now but it will set you back $300,000.

But those are for the early adopters who have a lot of disposable income to toss around. But you know, eventually the economy of scale will kick in and people will be soon printing out their hamburgers for under a dollar.

But forget about hamburgers. Right now, I'm obsessed over 3-D printing my own Egg McMuffins. Not the ridiculous "egg white" ones being advertised by the McDonald's corporation but my own style of Egg McMuffins that will be rich in yolk and dripping with melted Swiss cheese.

Now the new egg-white only Egg McMuffins are very, very disturbing to me. They are basically taking the best part of the egg away (the yolk) and doing exactly what with it? Throwing it away? Blasphemy!

What is McDonalds doing with all those yolks? I was hoping that they would come out with a yolk-only (no egg white) Egg McMuffin but I have not seen it yet. So just where are those yolks ending up?

I can't find yolks-only at the store either. I saw that white foamy yucky stuff being passed off as egg mcIck.

I prefer the sausage and egg biscuits. I wish I knew what brand of sausage they use, thought I had it once, maybe Johnsonville. The ones the closest I've found are pre-cooked but a little too spicy.

They are using 3D printers in bakeries, saw a video on that, too. Extrudes decorative frosting.

Just because you make it 3D doesn't necessarily mean it will tasate as good. But sometimes the egg picks up flavoring from something previously cooked on the grill that puts them a little off.
