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.

Indeed. Proper nutrition considerations must take into account several different variables. Calories and fat content are only two such variables. It is left as an exercise for the reader to figure out the rest of these variables and how they are related.
