Via /.: Biotech Firm Raises Furor With Rice Plan:

The company also has ambitious plans to add its product to infant formula, a $10 billion-a-year market, even though the major food manufacturers have so far shown little interest in using genetically engineered ingredients. But Deeter says Ventria can win over the manufacturers and consumers by showing the company’s products are beneficial.

Sounds like a mash-up of Diamond Age and Oryx And Crake…  Kinda gives me the willies.  I’m undecided on how I feel about GMO foods but something about putting breast milk-borne proteins into rice seems (…er…) weird.
