Oooh, a new use for my old brewing yeast, I could grow meat in the backyard 🤪
PHYS: "From pint to plate, scientists brew up a new way to grow meat... Yeast left over from brewing beer can be transformed into edible "scaffolds" for cultivated meat—sometimes known as lab-grown meat—which could offer a more sustainable, cost-effective alternative to current methods, according to a new study from UCL (University College London) researchers."

You put on your coveralls and took the cargo net up to your tier. In blazing noon from sunrise to sunset you walked your acres of shallow tanks crusted with algae. If you walked slowly, every thirty seconds or so you spotted a patch at maturity, bursting with yummy carbohy-drates. You skimmed the patch with your skimmer and slung it down the well, where it would be baled, or rocessed into glucose to feed Chicken Little, who would be sliced and packed to feed people from Baffinland to Little America. ..."
