    The headline is a reference to the phrase ‘bread from air’, which was used to describe the applications of the Haber process.

  During WW2 Germany was making edible fats&#x2F;margarine out of coal. Similarly, the atmospheric CO2 can be a source of carbon, especially say on Mars.<p>(another thing back then in Germany - ramjet engine using coal in a metal basket as a fuel. The war does put minds to work - radars&#x2F;computers&#x2F;nukes on the Allies side also come to mind.)

    Coal margarine, this protein powder and some vitamins, I wonder how long human could survive on such &quot;diet&quot;.

      Our cats and dogs live on such a diet (until you learn what the supermarket cat&#x2F;dogfood really is and take them off it). Vets have been saying about all those health problems resulting from that diet.
