I love bacon. I LOVE IT! Nothing compares to the overall experience of consuming this wonder-meat. But I've got to draw the line somewhere. J&D whose slogan is "Everything should taste like bacon." have taken the recent baconmania trend a bit too far. I bring to you BACON-FLAVORED INSTANT BABY FORMULA. You could argue that this is a product almost as taboo as candy cigarettes. Get 'em started young and they're hooked for life! However, I don't think there will be large civil suits against the pork producers of the US.
They do make a solid argument for bacon. Research proves the importance of high protein/high fat diets for early stage infant brain development. What's better than bacon? However the product is bacon "flavored" and not simply ground up bacon added to formula. I'm sure parents would be wary of a product which also comes with a disclaimer.
"Based on this and a lot of other research, we developed our newest product, Bacon Baby Infant Formula. It ensures that your infants get the fat, proteins and complex nutrients that they need to excel at an early age, all in a savory, delicious tasting formula. (**Note that we can’t guarantee that your baby will become smarter or more athletic from using this formula, as those particular claims are still undergoing review by the FDA - but we think you'll be pleased!**)"
This could mark a huge change to bacon mania. It could be the beginning of a series of health conscious foods flavored with bacon. I'm sure there's a successful protein shake out there somewhere. There's the diet soda market, and I've always enjoyed the irony of Vegetarian Bacon.Special thanks to Becca for sharing Bacon Baby with me.
