Quite frankly, I suspect that sometime in the future (assuming that we do not destroy ourselves first), there will be a whole range of truly delicious foods available to us that are also incredibly healthy, as well. Dulse might be the first thing that breaks these barriers, if it actually is like advertised as tasting just like bacon, but being healthier for you than kale. Who would not be interested in that?
Dulse is available at some health stores, although it remains prohibitively expensive, at least for the moment.

"FINALLY!", said absolutely no one.
ReplyDeleteWell, I'll tell you what, I would be interested in this product if the prices went down, and if as advertised, it really was a much healthier alternative to real bacon. Why not?
ReplyDeleteI was kidding - I received several thumbs up for posting that exact same comment in response to a Yahoo article about this several weeks ago. I too would certainly try it were the opportunity to do so present itself. Having said that, I somehow very much doubt that it literally tastes the same as bacon. If anything I suspect it's vaguely comparable to the "vegetarian bacon" that mom gets every once in a rare while - pretty good, and a nice accompaniment to eggs, but definitely not the same as eating actual bacon. Hell, if it were possible to make healthy food that gives people the same pleasure as unhealthy foods, everybody who needs to lose weight [*waves hand self-derisively*] would be buff in no time, and the face of whoever held the patent would appear on the covers of magazines like "Forbes" and "Money".
