Make This Bacon Tiara at Your Own Risk
The only way to become a true pork princess is to wear a tiara made of meat. And now you can by following The Anticraft's directions for making a bacon tiara! Be sure to follow all of the safety precautions; the meat paste ingredients include transglutaminase, a protein-binding enzyme. The directions say, "If any area of your body comes into contact with the transglutaminase, flush it thoroughly with water and consult a health care professional." Is the prospect of donning a meat tiara is worth the trouble? [via Boing Boing]

So, it's supposedly safe to eat transglutaminase, but if you brush up against it, you should call for an ambulance?

What a waste of food. Especially food as delicious as bacon, from an animal as intelligent as a pig. I don't advocate that people stop eating meat, but the least you could do is show some respect for an animal that gives its life so that you can have a delicious breakfast.
