Bacon Addiction: Difference between revisions

{{quote|''I love bacon. I mean I really love it. Good American bacon -- the crunchy kind, not that flabby stuff you get in other countries. At the risk of offending entire religions and regions, I think much of the unrest in the world is because too many people don't know the joy of bacon. Almost no one who has tasted bacon would willingly blow themselves up or start shooting at someone else. Bacon is worth living for.''|'''[http://www.tonychor.com/archive/000443.html Tony Chor]'''}}

 

 

Bacon isn't healthy, unless you count the [[The Poor Mans Substitute|cheap substitutes]] like soy bacon, turkey bacon or -- (shudder) -- [[Canada, Eh?|Canadian bacon]]. The odor of cooking bacon can drive some people to strange behavior [[I Can't Believe It's Not Heroin!|with its amazingly addictive qualities]].
