is a scam..
Not surprised.
Replicator not...
(Step back non-believers
Or the grain will never grow
Someone start that fire a'burning
Someone beat the drum real slow
They said some may think we're crazy
For making all these claims
But we swear if you'll just give us money
You folks are gonna see some grain)

An ambitious MIT project that purported to turn anyone into a farmer with a single tool is scraping by with smoke-and-mirror tactics, employees told Business Insider.
Ahead of big demonstrations with MIT Media Lab funders, staff were told to place plants grown elsewhere into the devices, the insiders said.
In other instances, devices delivered to local schools simply didn't work.
"It's fair to say that of the 30-ish food computers we sent out, at most two grew a plant," one person said.
