Did you just munch on Tofurkey for Thanksgiving and wish there was a better tasting meat that doesn't harm animals? You love bacon, but think Wilbur of "Charlotte's Web" is an ideal pet? Well, science has got you covered!
Researchers in the Netherlands have grown your fleshy tasty friend in a petri dish. Okay, from the sounds of it, the artificially engineered "pork" is not quite ready for human consumption, but the process doesn't hurt your buddies. Cells extracted from a live pig were mixed with a "broth" and then multiplied. Yummy Yum Yum! What has been described as "soggy pork" according to Telegraph UK apparently has not been tasted yet. I imagine a bunch of bespectacled scientists in lab coats, with a glob on a fork saying to each other, "you taste it." Then "No, I'm not tasting it, tell Melvin to try it!"
With the holidays fast approaching, here is Fashion Funhouse Emporiums gift guide to satisfy the animal lovers on your list.
Crisp, smokey and made from canvas, these shoes are an ode to the meat even some vegetarians admit to relapsing over. I honestly wouldn't wear these ever, not because they are bacon, but rather they are canvas Keds slip-ons. But hey, this site isn't about me. Its about all of my readers, If you know someone that will dig on these swine shoes, get them at Zazzle

True Story: My grandfather raised pigs. He used to collect all the fruit and vegetable scraps to feed to them. Once he had a bunch of grapes that he dumped into their trough. Later that day, my aunt noticed one of the pigs was stumbling around. It kept falling and making weird, loud, moaning noises. She rushed to get my grandfather, yelling "something is wrong with the pig!" Upon further examination, they realized that the grapes had fermented in a bucket before they fed them to the gluttonous porker. He was totally sh*t faced. This ring from Noir features a pig with wings. He must have gotten into the wine.

If you're looking for a bag that looks like leather, but want to save your animal friends, here is a more cruelty-free version. This faux lamb clutch is made from high-end biodegradable material produced in Italy. It can work in the office and go straight to cocktail hour. It comes in black, navy, red and the pearlized blue shown above. The Vivi Collection from Elezar.

I have a friend who talks so much about Lush products that I swear she's being paid in odd jelly soaps and "emotibombs" (Emily, I'm taking about you!) So in trubute to our oinking, mooing and poop throwing friends, it makes sense to feature this product which is not tested on animals and according to my friend, smells amazing. This weird picture above which looks like Jello shots is actually a soap...or something. It smells like black cherry soda. If I didn't think gelatinous foods were so repulsive, I'd smear it on my body right now. Thankfully, Lush has a whole mess of sweet scented shower items that come in the form of smoothies and bar soaps.
