Should there be an effort to expand meat imports substantially, I think you will find as big a split starting in agriculture as occurred in the unions...

In one experiment inspired by that theory, University of Michigan Biochemist Bernard Agranoff taught goldfish to swim over a barrier, then injected them with puromycin, an antibiotic that prevents protein synthesis. When the injection was given hours after learning, it had no effect, suggesting that memory proteins had already formed. Injected just before or just after training, the drug prevented learning...
