Using space-age technology to make “meat” out of thin air is science, not fiction.
A new entrant to the edible protein scene, the Berkeley-based startup Air Protein makes a meat alternative using NASA-inspired fermentation technology to transform CO2 — what we exhale into the air — into a complete edible protein.
While other well-known meat alternative companies like Impossible Foods and Beyond Meat make plant-based protein from soy and peas, Air Protein is the first to make “air-based” protein by farming carbon from the air with microbes. The startup’s recent $32 million Series A funding round, closed in January and led by investors ADM Ventures, Barclays and GV (formerly Google Ventures), secures its spot in the rapidly expanding field of meatless meat in the new wave of alternative protein technology — fermentation.

Step 1: Plant some grass seed
Step 2: Grass grows by consuming CO2
Step 3: Cow eats grass
Step 4: Steaks
That’s how you magically turn air into meat.
If it ain't broke ....
Been working for centuries.

Just before the last major snow storm, the grocery store shelves were almost empty. EXCEPT for the fake meat isle. No one wanted it.

They forgot to mention that it’s also what evil SUVs “spew” out into the atmosphere.
Notice that they call themselves “air protein” where a more accurate name would be “CO2 protein”.
All of a sudden CO2 is good! Quick, get those coal fired plants back on line!
Soylent Clear.
Soylent brown?
I prefer real cows...
Make it the only menu item in the Capitol Hill cafeterias! It’s mandatory for them now! Heh...
They’re not making food from air they’re making it from microbes.
If you consider that to be food.😝
