I wanted to comment on basically every part of the show, but I have a link for this bit, so I'm going to put it in:

It's not quite CHON, but he is constructing a meal out of chemicals. I think that artificial food, whether it's cultured meat or chemical elements constructed as food, it will at least at the start have to be treated differently than natural food -- just like treating tofu as just a meat substitute without recognizing it's different properties produces unpalatable garbage, but you can make it good by using the right sauces or mixing it into other things.

The Digital food idea needs to be thrown into the same fiery furnace as velveta cheese. Fake food sucks ass. And everyone who uses the scrambled egg in a milk carton should be tossed into that furnace also. Its water flavored egg. Don't like the food down here, go join the the spaceship federation to Alpha Centauri, when that happens.

Man i sound like militant food republican. The food we have is just fine. Now i will depart from the keyboard and go shuck some corn.

P.S. good show!
