soylent green is made of people.

The flux capacitor strikes again!

1.21 Gigawatts!?!?!?!

[PGR88]

Finnish researchers have created a batch of single-cell protein that is nutritious enough to serve for dinner

Tastes like chicken?

I don't think that's the world they meant to use, somehow.

[Islander7]

How do you like your microbes; sunny side up or over easy?

[FirstFlaBn]

So, it’s gonna come down to nuke plants after all. (Udderwise, Globull Warming will drown us all).

[Jim from C-Town]

The new cold fusion?

"the process forms a powder"

Oh yummy. Pardon me while I take a powder.

Where is this “world hunger” problem? Stop wars and respond to natural disasters quickly and no one would starve.

[TheTimeOfMan]

World hunger is not caused by a lack of food. With only infrequent and temporary exceptions, it is caused by dysfunctional cultures.

After exposing the raw materials to electrolysis in a bioreactor, the process forms a powder that consists of more than 50 percent protein and 25 percent carbohydrates — the texture can also be changed by altering the microbes used in the production.

They either produced Tang or that protein powder drink you can get at GNC. Hey if they can find a way to create filet mignons from dirt I’m in!

> The entire process requires only electricity, water, carbon dioxide, and microbes. <

Oh, so the food is not made just from electricity. What a disappointment. Because I already make food from multiple starting materials: electricity, a microwave oven, and TV dinners from the local grocery store.

To serve mankind

[BipolarBob]

I only drink my organic non-GMO probiotic free trade brew made of barley, grains and hops.

Fake filet mignon would be a great outcome. Just don’t ever believe you will be allowed to make fake fois gras. Or fake tobacco.

Is that the cardboard flavored pizza? YUM
