#1 Scientist have been grappling with the possibility of applying such revolutionary technologies to solve growing global food insecurity.

An insecurity helped along with subsidies that promote the conversion of grain into fuel rather than for use as food.

#2 Soylent? A really, really smart name for a corporation in the meat business. Hope people in Kenya don't know about Soylent green

#4 "...initially, the cost of producing a sausage could be as high as £220,000..."

That should limit the enthusiasm.

#8 I helped my son do a school project on new foods.
Well we changed color and did some other things. The results for us were the same for Soylent "laboratory meat". Texture , odor, color are big hurtles to overcome. I believe in the future we will take a pill that will supply most of our needs. The the liquid will do the rest. Perhaps combine the two. Then at some point we will wear a body suit that will keep us comfortable and monitor our needs for at least most of a 24 hour period. Yes, illness, basic vitals and everything body waist recycled. Pills given to correct genetic defects or heredity issues. Trickle feeding of medicines with an infusion pump or even oxygen as needed.Cellular regeneration with error corrections. Hostile environments first then the wealthy or politically connected. My two cents and a plug nickel.
