hybrid meat rice
The Morning After: Want some hybrid meat rice?
If the image itself isn't unappetizing enough, the description might put you off. South Korean researchers have made a hybrid rice variant, infused with cow muscle and fat cells, creating a bright pink grain that is one part plant and one part meat. The team hopes to eventually create a cheaper and more sustainable source of protein, with a much lower carbon footprint than actual beef. But please: change the color. The meat cells grow both on the surface of the rice grain and inside of the grain itself.
