Did you ever think you'd hear the word "healthy" used to describe bacon? How about having someone urge you: "Have another plate of pork chops, darling — they're good for you"? If a team of biotech researchers has its way, you may soon be sitting down to a guilt-free helping of luscious, heart-friendly ham.

This week, a group of university scientists announced that it has cloned pigs to produce omega-3 fatty acids. Omega-3s are those hallowed compounds, found in certain kinds of oily fish and other foods, that not only help your heart to function better, but assist in the crusade against heart disease. So, if those little piggies pass muster with all the appropriate government bodies, you may find yourself at market with a whole new attitude towards roast pork tenderloin.

Just a whiff of this news had searches on "cloning," "stem cell," and "omega-3" chomping into our top 500 movers, and boosted perennially popular queries for "omega-3 fatty acids," "omega-3 benefits," and "omega-3 sources."

Yeah, yeah, this is all theoretical right now. And not everyone believes in genetically modified piglets. But we can dream, right? In the meantime, stick with the supplements, order the salmon, and, if you're so inclined, whisper a few fervent blessings for the future of biotech bacon.
