Toxin-Free Cottonseed Engineered; Could Feed Millions, Study Says

A toxic chemical has been mostly removed from cottonseeds, potentially turning an underused agricultural product into a food source for hundreds of millions of people, according to a new study. "The world grows cotton for fiber not for seed," said Keerti Rathore, a researcher at Texas A&M University in College Station who helped spearhead the work. "Few realize, however, that for every pound [0.45 kilogram] of cotton fiber, the cotton plant produces 1.65 pounds [0.75 kilogram] of seeds that contain 21 percent oil and 23 percent of a relatively good quality protein." Now this is good because then companies or agribusinesses can get oil with all the cotton they farm.

I think this is good because yes the companies give us cheaper oil which is really good (for my mom).
