Engineers 3D-printed edible cookies from plastic

So, engineers at Southern Illinois University have come up with a fascinating way to turn waste plastic into edible cookies! They’ve reprogrammed yeasts to break down plastic and agricultural waste into tasty proteins and flavoring molecules. This innovative process could lead to high-protein cookies called µBites, perfect for resource-limited environments like submarines or even space missions. While they await taste test approvals, the potential for upcycled foods is truly exciting!
