the article:

The David Cronenberg film “Crimes of the Future” may prove to be a prophecy after all.

What's the marketing for this. Eat enough plastic, become plastic, be immortal? Eat enough plastic to override the effects of climate change, live long enough to see the billionaires in their bunkers rot because they don't know how to open food packaging themselves? Eat enough plastic you can now perform your own plastic surgery, with the free companion microwave app?

It was created for a NASA deep space food contest. Context makes the development a lot more understandable

Experts: we're not gonna be eating plastic cookies.

Sounds a lot like: we can't make profits of plastic cookies so don't get your hopes up.

Don't we eat enough plastic already?

“We produce 400 million tons a year of plastic waste. You’re not going to turn it all into cookies,”

So they'll also make it into hamburgers and hotdogs??
