Today’s “Phrase of the Day” is “hard to swallow“ and its meaning is “difficult to accept; difficult to believe”.
Example Sentence: Meat grown in a lab has been approved for sale for the first time. The Singapore Food Agency has given regulatory approval to the US company Eat Just’s “chicken bites”, grown from the cells of a chicken that’s still flapping its wings. This was not a piece of chicken, a cut of meat, but a mass of chicken cells, bulked out and pressed into a nugget shape. I had been told this was the future of food but I found it hard to swallow.
