...daily requirements of half a billion people a year. But the seeds can be consumed only after an extensive refining process removes the gossypol, a toxic chemical that helps protect the plant from insect and microbe infestation. "People, pigs, chickens--none of us can stomach gossypol," says Kater Hake, vice president of agricultural research for the industry group Cotton Inc. Only cows and other ruminants can handle...
...doesn’t make its owner any less real—nor any less angry. Maybe you’ve sat next to that pair of pants in section, or complained to that sweatshirt about a dining hall’s less-than-delicious “seasoned hake,” or even met that blouse through a mutual friend.

"Look at the skin," he exclaims, pulling the hake out of the Gastrovac and plating it with a caper and red pepper broth. "It has the same sheen as it did when it was raw!" Call it the Blumenthal-Adrià effect. Ever since Europe's two famously avant-garde chefs, Heston Blumenthal and Ferran Adriá, began using liquid...
