from the bacon-is-natural dept.

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.

    Well, how much fat is actually in Pepsi? Not much.

    Which makes it a true (though misleading) statement. It's up to you to know that a bajillion calories and grams of sugar also isn't good for you.

    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.
