Apparently a group in Pittsburgh has made a transgenic pig that produces omega-3 fatty acids, the building blocks of the elusive "good fats" normally found only in flax seeds, fish and those super-pricey eggs that come in the fancy container. Of course, you could just eat fish, but pigs are a much more subservient bunch and besides, modding your food is way cooler than going orgo. Not to mention it gets scientists into Nature Biotechnology.
