You Always Knew It Was Special
Pigs. They give us so much. For a long time they gave us insulin. Now pigs' islet cells wrapped in alginate to avoid rejection are being tested in diabetic humans. You could get chocolate-covered bacon and the ability to eat it from the same animal.

You Always Knew It Was Special
We here at TG World Domination HQ love us some bacon. Well, except for the vegetarians. (Honestly, most of them love it and yet manage to restrain themselves. We don't know how they do it.) The Pork Checkoff (which is a national pork lobbying organization but makes us imagine Pigs in Space talking about nuclear wessels) put out a document that has all sorts of statistics - a pie chart with a blue wedge indicating bacon cheeseburgers accounted for 13% of restaurant pork eatings in 2009, one that shows that bacon was 18.2% of US in-home pork consumption in 2009 (topped only by ham and sausage), a bar graph showing how "menued pork items" have grown over the past 10 years. Besides making verbs out of nouns and nouns out of verbs, they provide us with neat numbers to sink our teeth into. Then we got to the "Estimated Daily U.S. Slaughter Capacity" table, which made us cringe. According to the USDA Foreign Agricultural Service's 2009 data, your average American eats a little over 64 lbs. of pork a year. For those of us who want to stay omnivores, it's better not to think about where our 64 lbs. comes from. Which is why there's sparkle bacon. Sparkle bacon can't come from an animal! Animals don't sparkle. Sparkling means it's magical. Magical bacon.
