What's Your Favorite Flavor?
Some big food science news this week: Human Derived Gelatin.
You have to wonder what possesses someone to start working on a project like this. Admittedly it's recombinant - from human genes inserted into yeast, rather than made by the, um, more direct approach, but really. Really. Is this what the world needs now? Leaving aside for a moment the wisdom of creating transgenic chimeric organisms, here are a few thoughts on the matter.
1) New flavor - Soylent Green
2) Ewww
3) Would they sell it in a Donner Party-Pack?
4) Hey girls! I've got your human-derived gelatin right here
