Lab Grown Bacon?

We May Soon Be Able to Eat Bacon Without Killing Pigs

And that my friends kills have the fun! No more homage to the lowly swine.

Yuk cant imagine anything worse! My first thought was and to quote lyrics from the well known trekkie song:

… It's life, Jim
But not as we know it
Not as we know it
Not as we know it
It's life, Jim
But not as we know it
Not as we know it, Captain

or given it has never been alive in the first place:

… It's worse than that
It's dead, Jim
Dead, Jim
Dead, Jim
It's worse than that
It's dead, Jim
Dead, Jim
Dead!

or with a bit of poetic licence perhaps:

… Ye cannae change making bacon
Making bacon,
Making bacon,
Ye cannae change making bacon
Making bacon, Jim!

I always love this move......if you wanna be a veggie head, go for it. Why are you trying to "re-create" something you don't like or you don't want to eat? Then they say, "Meat is not healthy." If it is so unhealthy and/or unnatural, why are you trying to use a bunch of chemicals and lab rats to make something that is actually fake?

Eat meat or don't. Why take a natural product and create a lab grown, Frankenstein, science project that no one really likes and no one really wants.

You don't see me asking some lab to make meaty broccoli or meaty sweet potatoes. If you do not want to eat meat, don't, more for me. Can we just stop with the fake food?

All the manufactured "meat" is full of so many additives and chemicals. Of course, natural meat can also have additives and "stuff", but at least with natural you have a choice of where and who you buy from, so you can really limit the amount of added compounds. So hard pass, thank you.
