Frankly, this is the first time I've ever heard of yeast oil, although I'm certainly glad that a more ecologically sound (and likely healthier) alternative to palm oil exists.

Not that I was eating anything with palm oil in it as it is, but I'll be happy to try this ever I ever see it around.

probably have to grow yeast in large bioreactors/ or vats, but its better than destroying indonesian rainforests for palm oil.

Well, yes. But it's hard to imagine being more efficient with space or energy consumption than that. Single Cell (Organic) Protein production from yeast (or fungus) isn't a sci-fi concept taken from Cyberpunk. Cyberpunk took it from the real world. The general process has been known since 1781, although research into its use as animal feed was only kicked off by Max Delbrรผck much later. It was used by Germany during WWI to counteract food shortages, and later by many others, notably the Soviet Union for the same purpose.

Maybe shouldn't have listened to BP's "great" idea of using paraffin refined from oil as the feedstock though. Turns out - surprise! - that the residual alkanes are more than a little unhealthy.
