Taste and Source

     More from SXSW included food in all its varieties. With a basic foodie revolution combining with the popularity of veganism, vegetarianism and sourced food basic meat and potatoes menus just will not cut it. When you are an interactive festival that is looking to gain momentum in the arts what do you do in the food arena. It turns out that much of the interest has carried over from CES has spilled into Austin , Texas. Specialized diets do not mean dulled taste buds so what is the solution? It turns out 3d printing is very effective at layering flavors which may mean that more of grandma's recipes could be synthesized with healthier, more sustainable or less allergic ingredients.

  As usual the tie-in to the next serves as a priority for both stories which is the search for sustainabilty. With iterations of ideas material is consumed and not necessarily safe for disposal. With 3d printed food avoiding unnatural perservatives and gearing your creations to locally sourced ingredients would most likely cut transportation time and expenses. With the fluctuation of gas prices this would definitely be of interest to the greater majority of manufacturers. Hopefully, locally sourced minerals, and polymers will eventually be implemented in creation outside of the PLA plastics used now. This will definitely take efforts of suppliers to recognize the opportunities
for their expansion and partner with forward thinking technology producers.
