You’re still going to hungry an hour later.
Why?
I'm thinking fake hamburger buns for my Bug Mac. Gonna be some good eatin' in 20 years.
Carbon dioxide, hydrogen, water, .... AND ABOUT A BIZZILLION STEPS WITH COMPLEX ENZYMES.
Yes but from which US university research lab was the original idea stolen ?
Diets with 60-80% carbs are not healthy.
Every time carbon dioxide is mentioned they have to say it is a greenhouse gas.
My policy is to believe NOTHING that comes out of China.
You missed the irony of the headline, gang. You can make “starch” from “scratch” by dropping one “c”. /sarc
Food is chiral, meaning the molecules have to be arranged a certain way. Mirror arrangements do not work the same in complex biological systems. All plants produce food with the same handedness. Lab produced food has the problem that animals can not use unnatural arrangements. Lab made drugs have this problem, meaning half the drug consumed is non-functional, so the dose has to be doubled.
Wonder what the enzymes are?
Let’s see if I’ve got this right. We start with a hundred acre corn field, remove all the corn, and replace it with solar cells. We now generate electricity instead. We use the electricity to make complex enzymes, to remove CO2 from the air, and to electrolyze water to make hydrogen. We then use more of the electricity to mix the enzymes with the hydrogen to make starch.
Why not simply leave the corn there, and get far more starch instead?
Add enough electricity and you can make just about ANYTHING.
