You could soon be eating 3D printed burgers

Nov 2 2021

The world is changing, and its changing fast as it attempts to tackle problems such as over-population, climate change and food shortages. What if we were to tell you that some companies are working on technology which would see burgers printed as you wait to chow down on your favorite patty? This wouldn’t be going too far from genetically engineered ‘meat’ products as many raise concerns about the ethical treatment of animals. But the technology would be using food in paste format as their printing ‘ink’.

The printers would be able to design everything from burgers to ice cream to pancakes. Companies are also allegedly testing much more sophisticated versions, with 3D bio-printing being able to print cells and materials together to create more complex food products such as marbled beef steak. This could revolutionize the entire food supply of the world, especially considering the many issues we face as a globe. However, how many people are actually willing to dine on a printed burger is still to be tested.

YouTuber Jake Paul wants to join Elon Musk in ending world hunger

Nov 2 2021

Following the news that Elon Musk is considering donating $6 billion if the UN can prove how it will use his money to end world hunger, YouTuber and boxer Jake Paul has jumped on the philanthropist train as well. He posted to Twitter stating ‘yo @elonmusk if you donate $6 billion to the UN to end world hunger I’ll also donate $10 million if this gets 690K retweets.’ Why the number of retweets is set at that digit will be left to the imagination, but the fact that he has $10 million just sitting around for charity proves he must have actually amassed a fortune since he launched his channel.

Of course, the massive contribution will only be given if the Tesla and SpaceX CEO himself will give his own $6 billion. This follows director of the World Food Program David Beasley urging the world’s biggest billionaires to do something better with their money. Just 2% of Elon Musk’s net worth (the whopping $6 billion) would, according to Beasley, end the plight which takes so many lives. We’ll have to see whether any of this will transpire, but if this is what it takes to actually solve the issue, the question must be raised… what took so long?

The return of Celine Agius on X-Factor Malta Season 3 was long awaited by many fans of the series and, undoubtedly, the singer herself. Now part of a duet alongside guitarist Glen Sacco, the duo are now the band CEL&Sacco. However, it seems as though the episode in which the band performed their audition did not broadcast in its entirety. In a post uploaded to Facebook, Celine apologized to all those who stayed awake to watch their performance, as only 40 seconds of the audition was shown.

The couple performed an interpretation of Beggin’ by Maneskin, but due to it not being fully broadcast on X-Factor, the band uploaded the version to Facebook. They accompanied the post with a critique of the music industry, calling it a ‘sick, sick industry… it is all about business…commerciality…money…BUT then there is you with bags of talent.’

They encouraged every artist to keep surviving and dreaming. ‘Life is a continuous struggle to survive… please hang on in there, that is our advice especially to all the youngsters, struggling in this industry especially. Stay strong and be you!’ What do you make of this?
