A Potato a Day Keeps the Hepatitis Away

Scientific American has a fun article: Potatoes Deliver Hepatitis Vaccine in Human Trials

The concept alone can wind up leading to a much different grocery store than the ones we’re used to today: have an illness, grab the right food.  Imagine the flu could be cured with a carrot, and maybe a Mac & Cheese version for kids.

Of course, the idea behind this is to help poorer countries have easier ways to treat disease, but that doesn’t mean it won’t turn into some odd form of capitalization and marketing over here.
