Better Living Through Bacon

In 2006, it was reported that a group of brilliant, Harvard-mouthed scientists have wasted caringly devoted countless hours to the higher purpose of developing a healthier bacon. I'm a little hazy on the details, but I'm pretty sure there's some dna splicin' going on there between a pig and a... roundworm? That can't be right, can it? I was pretty sure that pig and roundworm DNA just wouldn't splice (remember that song by Loverboy?). Whatever it is, it sounds yucky to me. Ah, I'm not alone:

"biotech companies run into what bioethicists call the 'yuck factor' when they begin tinkering with animals."

Anyway, it's been 2 years, can we see healthy bacon on our store shelves yet?
