Genetic engineers really do not want to spare us anything. Recently we had to report about the pig-man, who develops via organ transplants, and now we are facing the spinach-pig. A professor of the Japanese Kinki University in Osaka reported that for the first time it had been possible to implant a vegetable gene in the genetic material of a mammal. The spinach gene used here is supposed to ensure healthy pork in the future. It will change the pigs' metabolism and influence the production of fatty acids. The meat from the spinach-pig is supposed to contain more unsaturated fatty acids than the meat of natural pigs. This change is said to be significant for a healthy nourishment of mankind.

According to the Japanese professor, it is not yet known whether the meat of the spinach-pig is really healthier for humans. However, it is hoped that corresponding safety tests will relieve people's anxiety about genetically engineered meat.

Here one can only say: To your health! Materialism celebrates a new triumph. Because only the one who does not see plants and animals as living beings, but as pure matter, can come to the thought that one could mix the two like two chemical substances. But everything that lives is animate, each cell and each organ. And everything that is animate has its own program - plants, animals and human beings, programs and energy fields that cannot be mixed with impunity. Hopefully, no one will dream up the idea of also preparing the spinach-pig for organ transplants, and thus boast of creating a man-spinach-pig.
