Scientists grow bacon fron stem cells.

Until they can genetically engineer some kind of animal that can give us Bacon and Gammon and Ham and Pork and Crackling I will stick to the old fashioned method!

They need to create a pig that regrows itself and lays eggs - the breakfast animal.

Yeah, right Dave. A wonderful, "magical" animal.

With their innate ability to find truffles, I reckon this amazing breakfast animal of yours could find a few mushrooms too.

This is old news. If you want to make pork you put a mummy pig and a daddy pig who love each other very much.. you know the rest.

Although the lab-grown strips of meat don't yet taste or look much like pork (researchers say it has the consistency and feel of scallop),

I'd rather have sea weed as opposed to this.

There are plenty of people that eat sea weed. Just sayin.

You cannot grow bacon. What makes bacon be bacon is the grilling part.

It's time for scientists to just stop already.

Yes I know my point was it looks more attractive then this sounds.

They always did -- the line "Cutting slices off their bums" in the song "There is a happy land" is based on reality; pigs' bums grow back.

Hmm, they must be female pigs - I've noticed that many a woman's bum never stops growing. Mention it just the once...

Welcome to 2010. Back here in 2012, there was supposed to be a lab-grown piece of meat of useful size in October, but the last time I heard about it was in February. Perhaps it didn't work out.

You shouldn't be running around making points. These are serious forums. Besides, this is a discussion about science and bacon.

I have a feeling that it'll be you who stops growing, if persons of the wrong gender clap their eyes om your posting.

Just about everyone does; it's a major component of packaged foods. Nicer fresh, though.

Reminds me of an old joke about a three-legged pig

Well quite, when you have a pig like that, you don't want to eat him all at once.
