why have the bacon at all when you could just eat straight protein powder or soylent though?
if you get both the nitrates and vitamin c from the cellery seeds, why bother going through the industrial processes for making the nitrates and vitamic c separate, possibly also from celery seeds, only to put them back together at the end?
It's almost certainly cheaper to synthesize nitrates and vitamin C separately than to farm celery seeds.
>possibly also from celery seeds
It's not. Like MSG (the white crystal kind), vitamin C is produced by microbes.
