WILL “GROW ON TREES”
Prediction On Sausage
(N.Z.P.A.-R*uter —Copyright) LONDON. Sept. 19.
The sausage of tomorrow will “grow on trees.” Dr. E. M. Mrak, of the University of California, said yesterday it would be a synthetic sausage, made from plant proteins. Dr. Mrak was speaking to 1400 food scientists from 40 countries at the first international Congress of Food, science and Technology in London, the “Daily Sketch” reported.
Dr. Mrak also forecast a ‘‘substitute beef steak that tastes and smells and cooks just as good as the natural one.”
He urged more “fish farming” at sea to feed the world’s hungry millions, /now estimated at between 300.000.000 to 500,000,000 people. “Our use of the sea as a source of food is technologically and philosophically 200 years behind our use of the land.” he said.
