Interesting. The obvious limitation here is that while they've made fatty acids, they still need purchased glycerol to attach them to. I wouldn't be surprised if it was a cheap byproduct right now but for the future that needs to be worked on. I'll eagerly await it on store shelves.

Also a fun fact: If they're using fossil carbon, which they probably are, eating this stuff will fuck up any carbon dating preformed on you.
