How Hampton Creek Sold Silicon Valley on a Fake-Mayo Miracle

  Good reporting from Bloomberg as always. I thought just mayo was okay when I first tried it (didn't know it was a startup then, had I, I probably would have picked a different one). It's still in my fridge, unfinished. Doesn't seem like a product that could give a company a billion dollar value. Hopefully if anything happens to the company they will open source whatever code they have for machine learning about plants. Maybe somebody else can glean something from it.
