Bacon is death.....tasty, tasty death.

[oldplayer]

My research shows that those 700,000 people were going to die eventually anyway.

[LRoggy]

Yet somehow life expectancy continues to grow . . .

I always refer back to Woody Allen’s movie Sleeper, which makes fun of the health food approach in a very clever way.

The movie also has a great scene when he awakens 200 years in the future and is asked to play archaeologist by the doctors who unfreeze him.

I am studying whether Bacon on a cheeseburger with a cold beer cancels the negative effects of bacon.
I should have the result in another 20 or so years.

Maybe those bacon eaters died by the hands of a muzzie.

Bacon caused death.

In the daytime, I’m Mr. Natural,
Healthy as I can be.
But at night I’m a junk food junkie,
Good Lord, have pity on me.

A salad contributes more to global warming than bacon.

Save the planet!

Eat more bacon!

As always, the problem is obvious, yet inescapable:

“Good for you” food tastes like something you would feed to livestock, with some exceptions like a nice piece of fruit.

The 10 ingredients combined contributed to about 45 percent of those deaths, according to the study.

so, if i only eat 8 of the ingredients i reduce my percent ?

If I substitute bacon for chicken bacon amd I golden ?

We estimated that nearly half of all deaths from heart disease, stroke and diabetes — collectively, cardiometabolic diseases — are linked to poor diet.

So, actually this is good news for smokers... except if you also smoke, what did you really die of ?

My grandfather started every morning with a large breakfast consisting of eggs, fried potatoes, and large portions of bacon. Then he would pour all the bacon grease from the skillet over his plate and use toast or biscuits to sop it up. He lived to 97...

[Mr. Douglas]

Funny. I see Bacon as the miracle food. However, I’m eating plain almonds and pecans as I read this.

[Mr. Douglas]

I could use a nice bacon wrapped shrimp burrito right about now.

[VanDeKoik]

No one dies from too much bacon.

They mearly obtain access to a higher plane of existence.

[Arm_Bears]

Death where is thy sting?

[pepsi_junkie]

The research is based on U.S. government data...

From the same US Government scientists that devised the now discredited food pyramid that resulted in our current obesity epidemic? People still listen to them? Huh.

Cause of death?

Genetics- my family has routinely lived into their 90’s having grown up on bacon, eggs, real butter, heavy cream lard- sweets- ice cream- on and on it goes-

Correlation does not necessarily confer causation- people who don’t eat salt also get hardening of arteries, and also die from strokes and heart disease- There are many factors involved in determine ‘cause’ of death- Did most of the bacon eaters have desk jobs? Not exercise much? Smoke? Drink too much? Do drugs?

Back awhile ago there were ‘alarming warnings’ about butter- about eggs- etc etc etc- meanwhile the average age of people has risen from just 39 years old to now over 80- if anything- bacon is making people live longer lol
