    My grandma is 89 years old. Has no known health problems. Every day for breakfast she has one fried egg with about 4-6 pieces of bacon!!!
    Anecdotal evidence will not be accepted. You grandmother is a freak of nature which falls outside the test parameters.
    Lots of people can offer up anecdotal evidence to things, but I always have to take that with a grain of salt.
    There are people who smoke who do not get cancer, but many smokers do--that does not mean that smoking DOESN'T cause cancer, it means that it doesn't cause cancer in ALL users. There are heroin addicts who have had healthy babies with no problems, but that doesn't make doing heroine while pregnant a healthy thing. Same with things like "bacon increases cancer risk". Bottom line--it's NOT healthy--it's up to the user (in this case eater) to make the choice!
    This is why we need comic sans as the universally accepted font for sarcasm.

    We do. Sarcasm gores unnoticed here otherwise.
