Akira Iritani, at Kinki University in western Japan, who led the research, says the genetically modified pigs contain 20 per cent less saturated fat than normal pigs - and so could be healthier to eat.

"I know genetically-modified food has met with poor public acceptance, but I hope safety tests will be conducted to make people feel like eating the pork for the sake of their health," said Iritani.

{I had a dream the other night, then the next day on the way to town I thought, maybe we have to get in front of it. it's obviously too late to stop the idea. the reality is, it's here now. the dude made the pig into a spinach pig. it's creepy-ugly, but if we don't get in front of it the parade's going to leave us behind. which isn't exactly what I mean. the Pranksters always seemed to have that working, the impossiblitity of resistance alone doing anything more than burying the home team. you had to use their tools against them. but this is so close to surrender. I think what the dream meant, what the impulse behind the thought was, is to not be afraid of the nightmare world. that we may have to move through that to get anywhere at all. it doesn't mean accepting it, but like any victim, any survivor, there is a kind of acceptance necessary. either that or suicide. it happened, it's happening. don't compromise with it, don't lose sight of the real goal, but don't just stand there and get run over, either.}
