I for one embrace the brave new world of printed eFood!

Perhaps appliances on your kitchen counter that use electricity and the air (CHON) to product sugar, or protein, or oils, directly and avoiding the whole agricultural, transportation and storage infrastructure. The savings!

Of course our agriculture state economies will collapse - a sort of second 'Dust Bowl'. Perhaps the CHON Bowl?

Perhaps ironically the collapse of agricultural state economies would mean considerably less dust since the fields would recover within a few years after not being over farmed.
