A cameraman was mistaken for bacon.

(Apparently this blog is now 100% Things I Found At Wired Monthly.)

((The robot front-end doesn't seem as interesting, in the story, as the spectrometer, and there is nothing about whether it represents some new thing in spectroscopy or not. Maybe you could just rent time on one and carry around a discrete probe disguised as a ring that beamed back the information over a wi-fi connection, and then it whispered facts about your food to you over your earphones.))

(((Look for this issue to be explored in my upcoming Sci-Fi Channel original movie, Eatamobot. The new flavor of fear.)))

I wonder if the thing has an "I have no idea what this is" response? Because, if it doesn't, and "bacon" was just the closest thing to "man meat" (!) in its database, okay. But, if it had the option of saying "I don't know", and it still felt pretty sure the dude was pork... well, maybe he should reconsider his diet soon.
