A New Superhero! Enviropig!

Well, not quite.
The Canadians have made a pig that is better for the enviroment, though. The problem with pigs is that they have to eat a diet of barley or corn. These plants are very high in phosphorus, which cannot be digested by the pig. This element then is released through poop into the ocean and causes dead spots. That's why the U.S. has made a no tolerance rule against pig poop, which costs farmers because they have to spend a lot of money to contain the excrement, which hurts the economy because the farmers have to raise their prices. But hopefully, that will soon be a thing of the past thanks to the Canadians. They've made a pig that can digest phosphorus and pass this trait on to their offspring, to at least eight generations down the line. They did it by splicing the neccessary sequence onto a mouse promoter and then injecting that into the embryos of several pigs. It will take a while for these pigs to be legally farmed in this country, but it will happen. I think this is a good idea, it will stimulate the economy and save the earth. Dead spots are slowly draining the fish supplies, so any way to fill them up again sounds good to me.
Phew. Blogger wasn't working for a while, I'm glad i was able to do this.
