The microbes used are bacteria, but what kind, and they have to be grown under aseptic conditions to preclude contamination-- a very difficult and expensive task alone. Not a solution at all, it just puts it in the hands of those who know how to do it and have the resources and money. We already have Quorn, a chicken substitute made from a Fusarium species. Try and do that in backyard in Mali. http://www.quorn.com/

US sugar producers will never allow the competition.

Just implant an synthetic organ that can recharge the ATP molecules in the body. It would be like an atrificial kidney, pulling in waste chemicals, recharging the into sugars, proteins, etc, and putting them back into blood stream.... provided you power via electricity.

"requires only electricity, water, carbon dioxide, and microbes"
"bioreactor the size of a coffee cup takes around two weeks to produce one gram of the protein"
To get enough food to feed one per would take one yuge bioreactor. I smell a grant/scam.

I know that. I also think this new technology smacks of the cold fusion debacle. And its’ just weird.

I am likely to have shuffled off this mortal coil by the time the fake meat, the electric food powder, and the insect farms really get rolling. Always a day late and a dollar short.

Sounds like they created typical no-taste vegan food.
To: Jeff Chandler
You need to grow corn, turn that into biofuel, which is then turned into electricity, which is used to make this food!
Ain't the cycle of nature wonderful?

You should post this on a few Pali and Afghani websites.

And it will powered by coal.

Wow. That’s amazing. I mean how you don’t need nitrogen to make proteins these days.

It sounds a little like the description of manna in the Old Testament.

Second, as a means of decreasing global emissions by reducing the demand for food livestock and the crops necessary to feed them. Currently, the meat industry accounts for between 14 and 18 percent of global emissions of greenhouse gases, as well as taking up swarths of land that could be applied for other ends. Proving once again that bovines are not needed to produce bovine excrement.

Apparently vast herds of American bison and scads of African and Asian grazers did not produce greenhouse gas but beef cattle do.
