I'm calling BS on this. Their "explanation" was "it uses ultraviolet light". Then they say they can't explain it because nobody can understand it. Even if it were possible to electronically manufacture vegetables, what would be the advantage? How much electricity, equipment, and raw material would it take compared to conventional farming? What are those raw materials, and what does it require to produce them?
The raw materials are carrots.
