3D printed food is coming to England and this is what it looks like
11 July 2016

The world's first 3D printed food restaurant is about to pop up in London after a successful debut in Venlo, Netherlands. That is a true sentence from 2016, which is today, which is now, which is the future. You are living in the future and it tastes... kinda weird actually.
