I think this conversation is coming from a very misinformed basis. If people knew how most of their food is "mechanically" made now, they would freak out, forget the next day, and continue eating it.

Yah, I'm just saying "I" wouldn't print it and eat it lol. Just like not eating Taco bell after seeing them make it.
Some things are meant to be closed. Your mind isn't one of them.
I actually think the "mouth feel" aspect is something that could be explored early. Food can actually "taste" different to you depending on how it feels when you chew it. The ability for a 3D food printer to print geometric shapes that could change the "mouth feel" of the food would be interesting.
The 2nd thing is aesthetics of the food. Someone could actually be encourages to eat something they normally wouldn't, if it was aesthetically pleasing to them, in a way current nature or mechanical food manufacturing cannot do.
