Sci/Tech Packaging you can EAT: Food ‘skins’ that mimic nature could slash plastic waste

What?
Hi @Dan

Everything is toxic depending on the dosis. Especially trolling, but especially everything else.

Hahaha, at the end of every argument we are talking about something completely different because of Firecat. wtf are we talking about water again? Lol...

GATORAID!

 

[Varine]

Because someone asked what would happen if we dropped it in water.

 

[Fatmankev]

This conversation is ridiculously difficult to understand...

 

[Accname]

Which makes it that much more awesome!

 

[Nigerianrulz]

its a topic within a topic :O topiception

 

[Accname]

Yo dawg, i heard you like forums, so i put a topic into your topic so you can discuss it while you discuss it.

 

[KaerfNomekop]

Sometimes I wonder why we tolerate FireCat.

BTW. Don't stop arguing. It's so damn fun to watch. *popcorn*

 

[FireCat]

Oh crap
Well, anyway, It's a stupid idea And don't forget the germs. Just saying!

Your wish is my command.

Of course the water is not 100% clean. If you want really clean water I would suggest switching to distilled and sterilized water. Coincidentally it's also your best bet to kill yourself.

Humans have an immune system for a reason. Nothing in this world isn't infected with germs and bacteria of some kind. Our body is made to handle it. Actually being under-exposed to germs is harmful to us.

When I buy fruit or vegetable I clean them first, too. Not all of them are wrapped air-tight. It's pretty much the same thing here. Just hold your edible packaging under (hopefully non-brain-eating-bacteria-infested) water for a second and eat away.

And about all that melting stuff: Just because you can eat it doesn't mean it's going to melt away when it rains a bit.
The news said "It’s designed to imitate how fruit and vegetables are ‘packaged’ in nature with a protective outer layer or skin you can eat". I've never seen an apple melt like a piece of suggar in the rain.

Plenty of plastic bags are biodegradable. You don't cite that as a reason to not use plastic bags to carry shopping.

First of all... Apple aren't handmade, though. And I didn't say anything about it would melt away. Where did you get that from? lol

Even our drinking water is heavily processed with chemicals because it previously ran through a dozen toilets. And now you're drinking, cooking and cleaning with it.

And that's how the whole thing started about water. ha

Houses are 'handmade'. Far more literally than this. They don't fall apart.

From there:

Wouldnt it be a bad idea when it rains? I think it would "melt" when it comes into contact with water.

Wasn't exactly directed at you, but at the idea in general. Oh, and it says it imitates natural protective layers so the comparison to an apple is perfectly fine in my eyes.

At it's said that it's made of a combination of algae and calcium. So it doesn't sound handmade, only mixed and brought to shape. And considering the pesticides and additives to the fertilizer they're probably not much more artificially made than apples today.
Unless you count bio food. Then again, we might get bio wrapping too

 

[FireCat]

Bio wrapping might sounds better than making an edible thing.

 

[KaerfNomekop]

The era of Soylent Green is dawning.

 

[camelCase]

So, as long as it sounds good, you're okay with it?

 

[FireCat]

So, as long as it sounds good, you're okay with it?

Of course!
"Biobased Wrapping Materials" Doesn't it sounds lovely? Hmm don't say its wrapped up in chemicals also?

Is it wrong that I was eating popcorn while reading all of this? Uh-oh.

we should make a TV segment with FireCat then exploit it further by making a comedy hit with Morgan freeman as the god
