Grow-your-own-rice Bra unveiled in Toyko

While I can certainly appreciate the thought behind this invention, I am doubtful that it has any practical usage at all. But hey, you gotta hand it to the Japanese for coming up with this. So, what the invention consists of, is basically an everyday bra that you can convert into a device for growing your own rice. Very, very strange. But in the end, maybe it will do its part to raise consciousness about farming and the importance of agriculture. Especially as a large proportion of grains that are cultivated in Asia are sent overseas to America to feed livestock. This action has been noted as contributing to hunger and food shortages in those countries. Food for thought.
