it Could be the Solution to World Hunger

A day late and a dollar short... their product's no longer needed. What is needed is a microbe that shrinks the stomach and makes couches uncomfortable to sit on.

[Trillian]

This doesn’t sound like it’ll solve anything.

[SaintDismas]

I can’t stop laughing you are hilarious!

[Attention Surplus Disorder]

No it tastes like single cell lutefisk.

You are just a denier..... a microwave denier.

One chicken produces more then that in a day.

And after a year or so you can have the chicken for lunch.

Don't think you can eat a bioreactor.

Submit that to the Nobel Prize committee and they will call the competition off and award you the prize without actually having to prove anything, in the grand tradition of Barack Obama. Brilliant!

Lol! My very first thought while reading this article.

It’s a cookbook!

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

Prepared with 120 or 220, AC or direct?

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

Not so fast... They need that vile pollutant CO2 according to article :

“The entire process requires only electricity, water, carbon dioxide, and microbes.”

By the time this comes to pass I will be long gone
......I hope. All you youngsters be sure to enjoy
your nothing burgers!

A common theme in these ‘future food’ stories is that the creators of this stuff have absolutely no intention of eating it. It’s for us, the unwashed masses who would be happy to start the day with a nice refreshing chocolate flavored cricket and earthworm nutrition shake, because we haven’t the sophistication or intellect to appreciate a good steak or lobster tail.

"...the process forms a powder that consists of more than 50 percent protein and 25 percent carbohydrates... "

No one can tell us how it tastes -- because the other 25% is cyanide... '-)

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

Sounds like they made food out of microbes using electricity.

In other news, I made nachos from microwaves.
