Engineers create 3D-Printed Cheesecake that could become the food of the future, but would you eat it?

Sci-Fi films from the 1950s promised us that by the dizzying year 2023, we would all be eating our foods in pill form or chowing down on dehydrated Pizza like in Back to the Future 2. Sadly our foods and the way prepare them haven't changed drastically, until now.

Incredible advancements in 3D printing technology have opened up what we can do with 3D printers and according to a study published in the NPJ Science of Food, engineers at Columbia University have created an edible cheesecake using one.

Researchers pioneering this new food creation method claim it could completely revolutionise how we cook and what we eat, like the replicators from Star Trek.
