Scientists are currently cultivating a marine plant that's packed with more nutrients than the trendy green superfood kale. And it naturally tastes like bacon.
Bacon-flavored crackers. Bacon-flavored salad dressing. These are just two of the savory treats that have been created so far using the domesticated strain of dulse (Palmaria palmata), a kind of red algae, or seaweed, that typically grows in the waters along northern Pacific and Atlantic coastlines.
I wonder if this will pass muster with my kosher- and halal-observing friends.

Yes, but that was several thousand years ago. Granted that did continue until relatively recently, but still it's not a particular problem now. If we banned foods that could make us sick if not properly handled, we wouldn't be eating anything. Some of the worst foods for food poisoning these days are things like lettuce which can get a mat of bacteria that's extremely difficult to remove with normal washing.
