It may look like Play-Doh. But it's actually a 3D-printed steak.
It's made by the Israeli alternative-meat startup Redefine Meat, and the technology behind it is one of many contenders in today's sizzling-hot international race to capitalize on the growing faux-meat market.
Redefine Meat isn't focusing on alternatives to ground beef or sausages, but whole-cut steaks — an area of the market that has yet to hit the mainstream.
"There is an amazing industry of alternative meat that is focused on minced meat. And actually the meat industry is driven by the whole-muscle cuts," CEO Eshchar Ben-Shitrit told Reuters. "Steaks, roast, slow cooking, grilling — everything that an animal can do we want to do the same or even better."
Ben-Shitrit is focused on creating industrial-level 3D printers that would ultimately be sold to meat distributors around the globe and become part of the meat supply chain.

If I want fake meat, I’ll just go to McDonald’s.
“It may look like Play-Doh.” How appetizing.. I’ll pass.
Yep. If people stuck to whole foods, obesity would be a thing of the past.
Heh.. I didn’t eat Play-Doh as a kid.. Not about to start now, lol.
*** We had $8/lb Porterhouse last night. ***
Not sure what state you are in. I am in TX, and bought a half beef a couple months ago. $5.00 a lb hanging weight, and that included slaughter fee, custom cut, processing.
The all inclusive price made it easy.
We be eating like rich folk now. It is so much better than grocery store meat.
I’ve done that before. It is the best. Don’t have the space at the moment. We’d need to rent a locker.
I’m in rural Wisconsin. Last night’s steak came from a grocery store where 1” Porterhouse can usually cost $12-$15/lb, so last night’s was a bargain and we’ll have sandwiches tonight from the leftovers.
Grocery store or not, it was juicy and tender and full of flavor, so no complaints.
The obvious answer is long duration space flight. There’s simply not enough room to take livestock along even in frozen cut up form. When not if humans go to Mars they will be on vegan diets due to the mass restrictions alone. Once on Mars growing food in hydrophobic greenhouse will still only supply vegan ingredients this would be an ideal way to jazz up the diet.
Growing up our family and another always went in on a whole steer, and once us boys were old enough for FFA one of us would raise that steer every year for FFA if it didn’t place we kept it for ourselves.
It’s fixing to be deer season and we don’t have a closed season on feral swine so one of my 10 cubic footers is always reserved for organic free range venison and hogs :-) for the low low price of 35 cents it costs be in components to load a round of 25_06. Most people don’t know that hunting is essential free on national forest and national grasslands, WMAs have zero or very low fees in Texas is 48 bucks for a whole calender year for WMAs. National wildlife refuges and reserves have hunts as well some are on a permit lottery others are first come first serve. I have never had to buy a lease yo hunt and filled my freezer every year with meat of some sorta critters. Turkey season and honkers are coming very soon as well. The NWO idiots can make meat in the stores illegal or so expensive only the betters can afford it but country boys will still eat well.
