WHY FOOD CAN'T BE 3D-PRINTED

A 3D printer can print out the amount of material that has been fed into it – never more.
A 3D printer might make noodles out of flour. It will never make flour out of nothing.

Extent to which 3D printers might replace agriculture:
Zero %

Food can be 3d printed. It's trivial at this point. https://www.3dsourced.com/rankings/food-3d-printer/

There is a difference between creating a material and fabricating it. I might just as well say that a lathe doesn't make metal. True, but...did anyone say it did? Is anyone claiming that 3d printing is a substitute for agriculture?
