pOrK as vEgGieS?

In early 2002, a Japanese research team from the Kinki University in Osaka implanted spinach genes into two generations of pigs.
The gene, called FAD2, converts about 20% of pigs saturated ones, thus making their pork meat much healthier.
This marks a milestone in the plant, er, animal world, where a vegetable gene has functioned normally in a living creature.
However, having green bacon for breakfast is still quite farfetched, as only about 1% of the test subjectd inherited the spinach gene. It may be some time before the basic food groups we know today are regrouped.
