    Lab Grown Bacon?

    I posted this in the pork section, but I am not sure if I would call this pork or not. Huskee please move if needed.

    Read this article this morning and it just left me shaking my head.

    Someone out there may want this just not for me.

    Then we'll smoke it in a smoker using lab created wood which will burn in a lab created steel smoker. No pig farming, no trees being harvested and no mining of minerals, just a lab.

      No thank you. I don't understand the point.

        First step toward a Star Trek style replicator, or Soylent Green?

          Soylent green was one creepy movie.

                I’m not even going to read it and say “Hell nah!”

                I feel like we’ve talked about this or similar recently.

                  At some point we likely won't have much of a choice, I just don't think that some point will be in any of our lifetimes... so while we do have a choice, I choose real bacon thank you very much.

                      It's not bacon if it doesn't come from a pig. That's my definition and I'm sticking to it.

                        Bkhuna so the definition of bacon is pork only? Or the cured and smoked belly of an animal? 🤓

                        From the USDA
                        Bacon: The cured belly of a swine (hog) carcass. If meat from other portions of the carcass is used, the product name must be qualified to identify the portions, e.g., "pork shoulder bacon."​

                        If not from a swine then a (Kind) word must be added to the word bacon to indicate its source. For example “Turkey bacon.”

                        I’m writing my congressman calling for the regulators to require the label on this lab grown product to be identified as “Petri Dish bacon.” That should help marketing. 🤢
