The Physicians Committee of Responsible Medicine’s billboard is located on Interstate 16 and asks fans to "keep bacon off your plate." The group also sent a letter to team president Brandon Raphael accusing the organization of glorifying the meat.

"We take great pride in the Macon Bacon naming rights (which our fans named), as we get to witness the smiles and laughter from our fan base – who have supported our branding since our inception -- that stems from the brand’s lighthearted and playful nature. We are a family-friendly organization and we are extremely grateful for our fans.
"With that, the Macon Bacon will be sizzling forever and will not consider a name change. Ever."
The Macon Bacon were founded in 2017 and play in the Coastal Plain League. The team name was picked by the fans and chosen over the Macon Soul, Macon Hits, Macon Heat and Macon Noise.

I am on a low carb diet in part because bacon is an important part of it.

I think the article is missing the point. The name is a play on words...

They’ve moved from slaveowners and civil war generals to pig meat.
It always escalates. Do not think they will stop at the latest atrocity. Once they destroy their target they find another.
After condemning pig meat, will they burn books written by Francis Bacon?
Insanity propagates into the general population.

The Physicians Committee of Responsible Medicine is a bunch of leftist quacks. They're not about health, they're about social control.

The physicians group needs to change their name by removing “responsible”.

They are unhappy if anybody is happy somewhere in the world.

That’s because we live in an overly sensitive, PC crybully society where you can’t say anything without offending someone in some small, little way.

"Macon Bacon’s glorification of bacon, a processed meat that raises the risk of colorectal cancer and other diseases, sends the wrong message to fans," LOL. This group has to be a parody.

From their website (

The Physicians Committee promotes plant-based diets for good health and disease prevention. Learn about how nutrition affects disease risk.
