USA is the only developed country that doesn't have affordable insulin, so my vote's on 3D printed meat
3d printed meat for sure. Getting food right has more margin for error.
Though the open insulin project has been making progress on open sourcing insulin!

Whoa, this is a real thing? I thought OP was goofing.
I just looked them up, it sounds like a great project!
shit. That seems like a cause worth donating to.
I really feel for my ISSs brothers and sisters and your unaffordable medicine. I count myself lucky living where I do.
Have you had a steak from walmart recently? Who needs a printer?
They already have chocolate 3D printers, and lab meat is almost or already at market somewhere and would also actually make someone money in our largely capitalist dominated world, so I'm gonna go with that.
Just don't live in a country where one company has a monopoly on Insulin and you also can't Import it. Then problem one is not a problem anymore.
There's not really a problem with meat either. You don't have to eat it and if you do, you don't have to feel bad about eating animals.
That said, there is kind of a problem with insulin manufacturing in that it's kind of centralized and distribution can be difficult, especially in remote areas with unreliable electricity. If insulin manufacturing could be done at the garage or shipping container scale in the places where it's needed, it would help a lot of people.
