BS pushed by the animal rights activists

[Uncle Miltie]

Joyless scolds.

All for our betterment, eh comrade?

[dfwgator]

I’ll take my chances.

[brownsfan]

If that’s all it takes, I’m doomed, and I don’t care. :)

“I’M not crazy! YOU make me crazy!”

Bacon has NOTHING to do with it! ;)

If you can tie dementia to extremely high sodium levels, I can see that. But based on this research, all bacon really does is make you happy and if you wind up with dementia you won’t care because bacon makes you happy.

Absolute nonsense.

Guess I’m gonna get a hell of a case of dementia, then.

[sphinx]

The libs think the future is algae and ground insects.

[Spacetrucker]

what the hell is “processed” meats? Spam? Is?it chemically treated in some way? Not sure what kind of fear porn they are peddling here but the meat I eat is “processed” - by the butcher cutting it into my specific cuts and sizes. If that’s processed then GIVE ME MOAR!

Each daily serving of processed meat was associated with about 1.6 years of accelerated brain aging in cognitive function tests

Since a pound of bacon (thick sliced) has about 10 slices, each pound costs me 16 years of aging. Since I eat probably 10 slices/month, by the end of this year, my brain has aged over 192 years. So, figure that rate applies since I was 21, and I'm 81 now, my brain has aged 11,200 years. Hmmm, how am I able to write this?

I call "bullshit" on this piece of crap trying to pass as research.

Well there you have it.

Now’s the time to switch to cricket protein powder and cockroach milk.

Klaus would approve.

You got that right. See, according to Cocteau's plan, I'm the enemy. Cause I like to think, I like to read. I'm into freedom of speech and freedom of choice. I'm the kind if guy who wants to sit in a greasy spoon and think, "Gee, should I have the T-bone steak or the jumbo rack of barbecued ribs with the side order of gravy fries?" I want high cholesterol. I want to eat bacon, butter and buckets of cheese, okay? I want to smoke a Cuban cigar the size of Cincinnati in a non-smoking section. I wanna run through the streets naked with green Jello all over my body reading Playboy magazine. Why? Because I suddenly might feel the need to. Okay, pal? I've seen the future, you know what it is? It's a 47-year-old virgin sittin' around in his beige pajamas, drinking a banana-broccoli shake singing "I'm an Oscar-Meyer Wiener".

Eat a salad to balance the books.

Seems we'd have a lot more with dementia b/c bacon is so loved..

[Worldtraveler once upon a time]

Bacon is especially tasty BECAUSE it is fried in bacon fat.

What would filet of animal rights activist be? Indigestible. Even without the frying.

[Frank Drebin]

What a load of horse manure.

I've been eating bacon for decades and I'm sharp as a tack.
