Methods for preparing recombinant proteins, such as antibodies, in eggs are described. The method offers advantages over existing systems for preparing recombinant proteins including high yield, low cost and compatibility with animal protection regulations. In addition, since eggs are edible food sources the recombinant protein does not have to be isolated from the egg.

A “Food Logger” provides various approaches for learning or training one or more image-based models (referred to herein as “meal models”) of nutritional content of meals. This training is based on one or more datasets of images of meals in combination with “meal features” that describe various parameters of the meal. Examples of meal features include, but are not limited to, food type, meal contents, portion size, nutritional content (e.g., calories, vitamins, minerals, carbohydrates, protein, salt, etc.), food source (e.g., specific restaurants or restaurant chains, grocery stores, particular pre-packaged foods, school meals, meals prepared at home, etc.). Given the trained models, the Food Logger automatically provides estimates of nutritional information based on automated recognition of new images of meals provided by (or for) the user. This nutritional information is then used to enable a wide range of user-centric interactions relating to food consumed by individual users.

A method of producing a high-protein insect meal for use as a fish, shrimp and animal feed by providing a closed, environmentally controlled mass insect production facility into which are introduced one or more species of insects that are rich in protein and particularly suited for use in fish, shrimp and animal feeds. The insects can be chosen from, but not limited to, the orders of Blattodea, Orthoptera, Diptera, or Lepidoptera. Also, the chosen insects can be of the species moths, butterflies, flies, beetles and crickets. The insects are then fed a food source which can be vegetable, grain, plant, or animal components, and fish and animal wastes. Upon reaching the desired life stage, the insects are harvested and then processed into a dried protein meal.

A computer-enabled internet-based platform enables a system, method and tamper proof packaging to be combined to validate when a food delivery is completed with the secure delivery of a food order. The system is managed by a third-party validator that establishes processes and procedures followed by the food source and the customer, and validation of the secure delivery of a food order is confirmed automatically by a server managed and operated by the third-party validator. The server maintains a digital database that is used to check if a unique identifier attached to a food order sealed in the tamper proof packaging is the same unique identifier that was attached to the food order when it was sealed inside the tamper proof packaging at the food source. The server is programmed to make this validation based on data inputs submitted by the food source and the customer through respective user interfaces connected to the internet that were designed and provided to the respective users by the third-party validator.

Predatory mites contained in an enclosed housing are provided with a continuous food source (i.e. spidermites) so that the healthy adult predatory mites migrate upwards to a collection container at the apex of the housing where a user harvests the predatory mites. The predatory mites are provided with spidermite-infested vegetation disposed in planar trays. The trays are chronologically arranged in a vertical stack within the housing so that as new trays loaded with spidermites are added to the top of the stack, old trays depleted of spidermites are removed from the bottom of the stack. The predatory mites intuitively display negative geotropism and positive phototropism so that the mites naturally move upwards and toward the light. Consequently the predatory mites migrate to the upper trays as new trays are added and eventually reach the collection container at the apex of the housing.

Compositions are provided according to the present invention which include microorganisms and / or products of microorganismal metabolism. Humans and other animals have difficulty gaining nutritional benefit from many highly abundant plant materials, such as cellulose. A traditional means of gaining the benefit of these nutrients has been through the cultivation of animals capable of utilizing such materials, subsequently consuming their meat and milk products. However, raising such animals is time consuming and expensive. Compositions and methods according to the present invention allow circumvention of the use of these cultivated animals for meat and milk. Microorganisms are isolated from an animal which is a traditional source of food for a second type of animal, such as humans or pets, in order to produce compositions of the invention. Such compositions provide nutritional benefit to the consumer.
