Health is irrelevant. Fat is irrelevant. Your tasteless chicken and droll organic material will be added to our awesomeness. Become one with the Bacon. Resistance is futile.

Wouldn't it be awesome if Star Trek had one of the bad guy empires as a bacon-worshipping cult? LOL :D

    Better yet, would a vegetarian/vegan be able to eat replicated bacon? Technically it is matter dematerialized and rematerialized in another form. So bacon from a replicator could come from solely plants not animals.

    I might be confusing the definition of "vegetarian" but using replicators to make food changes diet restrictions that are based upon what the food is made from.

    I think I'd prefer it from the local Klingon Targ meat market, sliced thick and hickory smoked. :D

    Might add an egg or two for good measure :)

    I suppose replicated bacon couldn't be classed as meat, but do you not think in Star Trek's utopian society all the vegetarians and associated offshoots have been wiped out by now?

    This is my thinking also, as the meat is not coming from an animal :) Of course, those who prefer the textures and flavors of a vegetarian diet to meat might still continue to make such selections :)

    I would assume that vegetarians/vegans who are pursuing that lifestyle down to principle; i.e. there are plenty of other foods out there than resorting to killing an animal for sustenance, then replicated meat probably a big thumbs up :P

    Whereas vegetarians/vegans who pursue that lifestyle because of taste i.e. meat or cow juic... milk makes them feel ill.. then no replications!

    Well.. i assume :)

    religious diets.. now thats another ballpark, which i dont think should be got into for fear of forum trolling/locking :p

    Mmm.. replicated synthetic meat protein. I wonder, would it be possible to replicate other protein strings..

    Sounds like a plan :)

    Vulcans are reputed to be primarily vegetarian through choice, rather than necessity, so I guess there would be other elective vegetarians as well :)

    It's my understanding that things like gelatin can be considered halal (by relaxed scholars) as it is no longer 'flesh of swine', but has 'undergone a transformation', so by extension of that principle, replicated bacon would also be 'transformed', so equally permitted... At least, that's the way I'd look at it :cool:

    Hmm, a Targ meat kebab would be perfect to float on top of the Romulan Ale after a long night in the ship's lounge :D

    I wonder if in Star Trek's 24th Century world, are there "Replicator Artists" or "Replicator Programmers" who would meticulously design replicator food scripts/programs to address all of the varying ideas in this thread?

    I would say 'yes', for providing 'institutional' meals, such as on board a starship, where the ship's chef would be responsible for other special meals, such as the officer's mess or diplomatic functions :)

    Kinda makes you wonder what a "syntax error", "compiler error", or "page fault" will taste like...

    Yeah they're really nice at first (free bacon is always nice), then they will try to assimilate your culture so that every single recipe you have is bacon related.

    Eventually, all traditional goodness will be phased out because nothing, repeat, nothing, is as good as bacon.

    I mean, why have bacon-wrapped turkey when you can make a turkey shaped object out of interwoven strips of bacon?

    For those of you unaware, you CAN get Bacon in the game.

    Currently, the most effective way is in Winter Wonderland. With some careful breeding, you can shove a nice plump Epohh into a little golden console (we refer to it as the 'Epohh Grinder' or 'Epohh Smoothie Machine') in the Pavilion, and it gives you EPOHH BACON! (and some other useless things like Romulan Marks, but who needs'em)

    Naturally, with some DOFF crits, you can get P'epohh'mint flavored Epohh Bacon (not a fan myself, but whatever floats your Odyssey), and some Candy flavored Epohh Bacon (the kids like it).

    So do your StarFleet duty...ignore those 'free-range' Epohhs on Mol'Rihan. Take advantage of the High volume production Q is temporarily providing at Winter Wonderland. Shove as many of those little fat furballs into the grinder as you can, and stock up on the Bacon. The magic ends on the 14th.

    Being a cat, I really don't like the snow, so, I try to avoid the "Winter Horrorland"

    I do have to thank all of my Klingon 'friends'. They throw so many Targ at me, my crew and I have enough fresh bacon to last us years.

    Not to mention the pork chops, sausages pork steaks.... etc

    Yes, yes there is. Thick sliced Beef brisket that has been sauteed in the hotest Tabasco you can find and cooked on a grill until med-rare. :D

    I'm starting to drool just thinking about it. :D
