Cloned foods 3

Now, There's Something Leaner
Bacon
Bacon that's good for you? Cloning might be able to put that kind of product on the market. A group of scientists from Harvard Medical School, the University of Pittsburgh, and the University of Missouri has developed pigs with omega-3 fatty acids, instead of their usual lard, or saturated fat, in their muscle tissue. Omega-3 fatty acids are proven to be good for your heart. Bacon, like ham, that's derived from cloned pigs, is about two and a half years off.
