I believe CHEMISTRY, through synthetic fertilizers, insecticides, preservatives, flavors... etc, has already seriously deformed out food. We are nowadays eating foodstuff that have no taste at all. The present synthetic food would be the beginning of the end!

Were are we going , what will be the next ??? - synthetic pizza..........

All food is made from chemicals. The difference between natural and synthetic chemicals is fairly arbitrary. You get glucose in apples, sodium choride is just salt, and so on. So is there really anything particularly interesting about this recipe?

One question; Why?

i'm guessing enough if these entrees would make us drop weight quickly. but could there be any nutritional value at all?

All food is made from chemicals. From a scientific point of view there's no difference between eating an apple and eating a mix of cellulose, glucose, fructose etc.

They aren't suggesting that this kind of food is eaten every day to replace what we normally eat, they're just saying that this is another way of cooking.

Right now, this is a luxury novelty, but it could be the first step to ending world hunger. If palatable, nutritious food could be synthesized from chemical compounds, nations could be fed from a factory instead of farms that consume huge amounts of land and are at the mercy of the vagaries of nature. It would also eliminate the need for fertilizers and pesticides and thus be potentially less harmful than "natural" food.

Any chef out there knows what food is made of. Not all cooks know that. Obviously a chef is as the french like to call themselves is a form of art. EVERYTHING is chemistry – chemistry is the building blocks of life itself. Therefore food is chemistry and cooking is bucket chemsitry – mix all ingredients in the bucket and presto you have something. DUH!

What occers naturally is everything but what is synthetic is the involvement of man to manipulate something for a specific purpose.

What the chef did was a fineline – he used NATURAL ingredients and made something of a particular purpose that MAY NOT exist inthe natural world.

OMG synthetic food whats next flying cars and space machines! I think this is amazing, in a world stricken by famine we have found a way to create nourishment without the presence of any food, I think its a steo in the right direction. Maybe not to all you food snobs but I am sure someone in africa would love a oil drum full of this stuff.
