I can already see CRISPR Bacon™ in our future.

I’d flip it:

If I ran a bacon company and I didn’t have CRISPR pigs I’d advertise in large red print

“CRISPR Free”

Or

“Non-genetically modified”

People are afraid of lab grown meat already, they’ll be terrified of CRISPR meat

My competition won’t be able to advertise the same

I get it's a joke, but this won't be advertised to consumers. The current US administration (and previous ones to a lesser extent) oppose food labeling regulations. It's one of the main "non-tariff trade barriers" they complain about to the EU.

Are you declaring first use?

The new job at McDonald's: CRISPRer - your one job is to take the bacon and grill it crispy.
