(3) Professor
Post is developing a way to grow meat in a lab
because he believes that livestock
farming is not good for the
environment, not good for animals nor, he says, is
it going to satisfy
the growing demand
for meat.
His aim is to produce a
burger that looks and tastes just like the real
thing but from what I saw at
his lab,
which is still a work in progress.
(4)
The flesh, grown from stem cells, is pale white
and tasteless, so food technologists have had to
mix in breadcrumbs, caramel and saffron
to add flavor and juice to add color. The mixture
is then
put together to make the burger
that will be cooked then eaten by two food
writers.
Initial testing during the
development process suggests that it won't taste
great, but according to
Professor Post,
it will taste good enough.

Post is developing a way to grow meat in a lab?
do the food technologists have to add
juice to the grown meat?

News Item
Two
An Olympics security
plan five years in the making is taking shape in
Vancouver this week. The
Canadian
Police is heading up the $$900 million security
operation, the largest in Canada's history.
It will involve 15,000 police, private
security and military personnel. The Winter
Olympics will
take place February 12th
to 28th in 2010 in Vancouver. (3) Political
protests may pose the biggest
threat
to
the
games.
The
threat
of
terrorist
attack
is
rated
as
low.
But
the
memory
of
the
1972
Munich Olympics
has
not
gone
away.
That
year,
a
terrorist
group
attacked
the
athletes'
village,

killing
11
Israeli
athletes

coaches.

coincidence
that
in
Vancouver
security
patrols

particularly
evident
around
the
low-rise
apartment
buildings,
where
the
athletes
will
be
housed.
In
downtown
Vancouver
some
roads
are
already
closed,
and
rings
of
security fencing surround some key
venues. What's more, 900 surveillance cameras will
be put on
top of fencing to detect
dangers.
may be the biggest threat to
the 2010 Winter Olympic Games?
is the
presence of security patrols most
evident?
