Not enough beef

Chipotle is going to stop serving genetically altered food due to shortages of some of their food products.

There is increased demand for food that is free of genetically modified organisms (GMOs), which has raised the prices of such products, according to the New York Times.

The high demand and low production of GMO free food has led to a beef and pork shortage, which has forced about 600 Chipotle restaurants to put up signs saying they are not currently carrying pork.

Salty water purified
A group of scientists from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have created a machine that turns salt water into drinking water.
The Electrodialysis, as it is called, is designed to be cost-effective, uses solar power, and is environmentally sustainable, according to Popular Science Magazine.
This machine can remove 90 percent of salt from 2,400 gallons of water in 24 hours.

The kits are designed to help detect the 26,000 undetected cases of HIV in United Kingdom patients, according to BBC.

Platypus dinosaur discovered, thought to be fake
A new dinosaur that resembles a platypus that was thought to be fake was discovered in Chile, according to The Sydney Morning Herald.

The scientists concluded that the bones belonged to one creature.
