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.

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

"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.

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!

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.

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/

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.

using a system powered by renewable energy.

Does it have to be renewable or can I use just any old electricity?

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.
