> isolated from dangerous contamination like e-coli and other bacteria

Stop parroting pseudo science and learn the facts. Most varieties of e-coli are not harmful to people, but since it's presence indicates that harmful bacteria is present it's used as an indicator of danger.

Do you really think all of humanity's food can be grown in buildings? And "isolated"... Go watch Fantastic Fungi and educate yourself. We are part of a web of life with a proper balance between organisms. Hydro facilities spend all their time fighting infections

The truth is, lab grown mediums have to use heavy antibiotics to grow cultures. People who are concerned with antibiotic resistances should be concerned about this.

An important point that must be considered as we further develop the tech. Thanks for sharing insight into the field.
