Which one of the following do you think is true?

Researchers from KU have conducted a study on ...

... discrimination. For every 100 primary schools, only 15 accepted applications from parents with a Muslim name, but 25 accepted applications from parents with a Danish name.
... meat consumption. They found that 2% of Danes are vegetarians but that an additional 43% cut down on meat.
... quantum computing. Because of their breakthrough, the first fully functional generally applicable quantum computer will be available in 2025.
... whipped cream. They found out that using bacteria instead of milk fat, they can produce 0% fat velvety whipped cream.
