Lomi Food “Composter”

This is a scam, foisted upon people who know nothing about science.

Think for a second. Imagine that every kitchen in the world was equipped with one of this, plugged into the grid, and every night, the world’s electricity was used to remove most of the water from the day’s scraps. (Forget about all other forms of waste: cans, most plastics, dirty paper, Styrofoam, animal bones, etc.–that still need to be landfilled.) Do you believe this would result in a net benefit for the environment?

Btw, though the product does degrade the waste, it’s dishonest to call its output “compost” or to claim that it’s a replacement for growing soil.
