If economy of scale is a problem, I look forward to seeing home-tanks that sit on the counter top like slow cookers and produce the meat-alike overnight. Go to the store and buy bags of concentrate just like any other grocery ingredient.

You can make Tempeh at home: the colonisation is ~24/72h. Super nutritious and if well cooked strong umami taste like wild/farm meat, compared to sweetysweet nugget.

  Soy products contain high levels of plant-based estrogen, not something you want to pump your body with continuously. Or does the process of creating Tempeh somehow removes/inactivates this?

    My understanding is there isn't much evidence of a link between soy an almost anything positive or negative (unless you have an allergy). "Plant estrogen" is different enough from human estrogen to be at most a weak form of the same. Consider for example that it's highly popular in China, Vietnam, Korea, and Japan, and Japan has one of the highest life expectancies, second only to an autonomous region of China: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_life_expectancy https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_life_expe...

    They do, but are mostly armless if consumed reasonably: don’t eat the same meal every meal! A sheep got complications in the 40´s although no strong adverse effect have been found off human despite many studies and big consumption in Asia since a long time : 40mg/d in Japan/China while 3mg/d in EU/US (1): you may safely x13 your soy consumption if you live in the west. Don’t worry either if you’re a men, you’ll be just fine (2) 1 https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0022316622132049 https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S002231662... 2 https://www.fertstert.org/article/S0015-0282(09)00966-2/fulltext https://www.fertstert.org/article/S0015-0282(09)00966-2/full... Post scriptum: you can make Tempe with a variety of grains, not only soy.
