NEW YORK - Consider the soybean. A legume about 1cm in size, it is eaten from the pod as edamame or processed into tofu, soy milk and other products.

E agora essa humilde colheita está no centro da guerra comercial entre os Estados Unidos e a China.

Luciano Sampietro se llevó un tubo de aluminio de un metro a los labios y sopló, enviando un dardo con sedantes, relajantes musculares y analgésicos hacia el roedor más grande del mundo, el cual descansaba cerca de un estanque artificial.
