Scientists Tackling Tough Meat Problem
British Government scientists have begun a long-delayed research —to find out what makes meat tough. It is not so simple as it sounds. Experts believe it may be 10 to 15 years before all the answers are known.
The “tough meat” problem has been on the Government scientists’ research programme since 1934. The war and then shortage of scientists (the Government got 340 recruits when 2000 were needed) delayed the start of the research.
But now the scientists have 'at last been able to start and one day all joints may be tender. The scientists have been working on whale meat too.
Before these improvements could be made a Government scientist, Dr. R. A. M. Case, wearing a frogman suit, shot a thermometer into the belly of a whale in the Antarctic. Dr Case was rescued from the water unconscious.
