Er, excuse me, but NO, this was NOT "created from electricity and carbon dioxide", it was "created with electricity and carbon dioxide". There's a big distinction here. The first - in English - as I understand it, means that it was created with ONLY those ingredients. However the article at http://us.tomonews.com/scientists-make-food-from-electricity-and-thin-air-3409110?utm_campaign=08042017%20food%20from%20electricity states...

The food-creating system uses a bioreactor, which contains water, microbes and nutrients such as nitrogen, sulfur and phosphorus.

...so it's actually the microbes making the "food", probably as a byproduct of eating the nutrients. So it's making this stuff WITH electricity and carbon dioxide.

But is it really FOOD?
