Reading an article about scientists using yeast to make protein-rich cookies from plastic waste. Made me think about the foods of the future.
Push comes to shove, which of these would you be content to eat to survive, assuming you’re stuck in a bunker or a spaceship etc.
Let’s also assume each is in the form of a protein-rich snack which would taste fine, actually.

Here’s the article I was talking about: “We were trying to develop technologies for plastic upcycling to make more valuable products. We thought, why not focus on making food? Because plastic is carbon and food is carbon.” https://scitechdaily.com/scientists-turn-plastic-waste-into-protein-rich-cookies/
