The Italian pasta company, which is now widely associated with anti-gay sentiments, wants to become famous for something else: 3-D food printing. For the past two years, Barilla has worked to design a machine that can print fifteen to twenty pieces of pasta every two minutes. Essentially, this would turn pasta into fast food — and also allow people to customize the shapes of their carbs. Compared to printing pizza made with grass and insects, it doesn’t sound all that crazy. [Earlier, Geek]
