We don't need to grow stuff in dirt any longer and we don't need to
butcher animals any longer.Chemistry allows us to create perfect food
with oil !

We cannot produce the enzymes that come with the natural foods
necessary to its digestion and assimilation of all the trace
elements.   We probably can create an equivalent to most
cooked foods though ..but not live, raw foods.   Those are
necessary for good health.

since when are the enzymes that come with foods necessary for its digestion?

    Thats a very basic rane of issues issue. If you are not
up on that I surely am not in position to force you to do the
background study required..    it would help your personal
cause though if you referred back to my remark.... the key
words were 'ALL of the trace elements'...

some digestion of course occurs with stomach acids and enzymes
produced solely by the human body.

your standpoint is that the enzymes (like papain and bromelain from papya
for example) are _necessary_ for its digestion?
please provide a few studies/references for this

Speaking as a chemist, I disagree.
petroleum contains mainly carbon and hydrogen, you need nitrogen
(protein) and trace elements, Iron, etc to survive.

We use petroleum to produce our food now.

I'm a chemist, too, but you don't even need such a background to know this thesis is
absurd.

Photosynthesis captures the energy from sunlight, and stores it as potential energy
in chemical bonds. The very fact that we are warm-blooded stems directly from the
release of this stored sunlight in our bodies. Burning wood in a fireplace is
releasing stored sunlight. I can't think of better or less expensive synthesis
factories than are plants. Put a tiny seed in the ground, and come back months
later. Voila!

It may be possible to create food molecules in a lab, but it is most certainly not
efficient to do so. Moreover, we are not yet even clear on just what chemicals food
needs to contain to provide health to the consumer. To think that we've discovered
all the vitamins (or whatever we might choose to call the necessary bits in food) is
a little bit arrogant.

I wonder just what "miracle" was contemplated by the original poster.

I think he works for *Halliburton*...!

Where does the oil come from?
