"What we have developed is very similar to brewing beer, where yeast is used to convert sugars from barley into alcohol, and hops are added for taste," co-founder Petri-Jaan Lahtvee.

So this story goes along with the one about the 3D salmon printer, huh? Fool them once - run it thru the machine to make it look like food, turn it on, walk away, and the next thing you know you have old polyester leisure suits that look like salmon fillets.

Reminds me of this old cartoon by B. Kliban showing a drawing of a lunch counter with people eating burgers, and the caption stated "What New York did with King Kong."

I thought this is what McDonald's has been doing all along.
