Paging Milo Minderbender.
Well written article covering the quest to provide protein for the world’s hungry.
The story has a Texas A&M link.
It all makes sense now. BLM and the other Marxist libtards are going to round up all the white people and put them out in cotton fields. KUNTA KEN.
I’m triggered! Cotton, slavery!! No god! Must eliminate this!
This may be the most interesting article I have read in United States news in the last 10 years. It is right up there with the Trump win in 2016.
Why?!
Is this another case of a “solution” in search of a problem?
I’m still not getting a picture of how this would work as a food product. Do they mean a food product for Livestock to consume?
Wait, I thought edible underwear was already a thing. LOL!
That’s a no go. Cotton is part of the slave South.
Anything that has to be highly processed before consumption was never meant to be used as food. I’ll pass.
But who’s going to pick it?
“Cotton.... It’s for dinner.”
Cottonseed refried beans can’t wait. Actually this is a big deal, cotton seed for human consumption would be a game changer, more billions of us could be fed, something like the rice revolution some decades ago.
Actually, it has been done before during the siege of Leningrad (St. Petersburg), the population ate some really cruddy bread made in part from cottonseed meal. It also included dirt from a burnt sugar storage house floor where the burnt syrup had crept into the dirt.
Of course many people also starved to death.
Maybe we could bet BLM to pick it for us
We kept calves when I was a kid, and I always thought the cottonseed meal smelled good. Not as good as the molasses infused sweet feed smelled, but good.
What is its glycemic Index?
Cotton Candy . . . . It’s for dessert.
Very interesting. Thanks for posting.
As noted in the article, solving the science is only one hurdle. As is the case with so many forward leaps like this.
Just make dam sure we pick it ourselves.
***..and provide 10.8 trillion grams of precious protein for the animal feed industry and human intake.***
Say what? Cotton seed meal is already used in animal feed as a supplement for winter feed. Our standard feed mix was two cans of cottonseed meal and one can of rock salt, to keep them from eating too much.
