Why life is better without bacon

You probably won't be surprised to learn that 68% of bacon's calories come from fat, almost half of which is saturated. Each ounce of bacon contributes 30 milligrams of cholesterol (not to mention the cholesterol from the eggs that often accompany bacon.

Eating foods rich in saturated fats can raise your cholesterol levels, increasing your risk of heart disease and stroke. And if those saturated fat-rich foods are also high in dietary cholesterol, cholesterol levels tend to rise even higher.

The American Heart Association recommends limiting saturated fat to less than 7% of your total calories (thats less than 16 daily grams of saturated fat for someone eating 2,000 calories a day).

But here's the bad news: When it comes to increasing the risk for certain cancers, things get downright scary for bacon lovers. Not only is bacon considered a red meat, its also a member of the dreaded "processed meat" group (even turkey bacon falls into this category. And NO amount of processed meat is considered safe to eat, according to the American Institute for Cancer Research.

My great grandpa had bacon, eggs and toast every day of his working life for breakfast and he didn't die until he was 95 and got hit buy a bus.  I don't think bacon is bad for you as long as you are healthy in other ways.  

"This thread made me change my ways and I will stop eatting bacon"

You know something fascinating?

I don't care. Bacon is great, this thread is stupid, and bacon for all!

This thread is now a bacon party.

Alright you have me convinced. Time to switch to equestrian burgers.

this has inspired me to smoke filterless cigarettes and eat bacon at the same time.

seriously though why even bother extending your miserable ass life if you are not going to use that time to do what you like to do?

yay,  my long life was punctuated with long bouts of not getting to enjoy anything,  yay,  how awesome for me and my long ass life that was joyless and austere yayyyyy.

yay, i made it all the way to the dialysis and adult diaper years,  boy look at how all those years of denying myself   paid off for me, yayyyyy.

1 sided poll much, where's the I don't care i like bacon option?

And what are your sources anyway? Because there's a huge difference between dirt cheap bacon and nice bacon from a bucher.
