Jokes aside, this is really interesting. Personally I'm not very worried about the healthiness of such "meat", and knowing the miracles that the food industry can do with "meat-like products", I see potential for genuine large scale meat production this way within my lifetime. Not necessarily for "bacon", but sausages, minced meat etc.
I wonder what the nutritional value of such 'meats' would be. Seems the more something is messed with by humans, the more nutrition it loses.

But it is a step in the right direction.
