    my fave cut of bacon is streaky bacon closely followed by middle bacon

    I am off to the supermarket tonight after work so need to get me some of that goodness . However I gotta admit I do try to get the free range bacon, not happy about eating bacon from the poor pigs who are kept in those awful stalls.

    We've known your movies for so long
    We know they're lame but we're too shy to say it (say it)
    Each time we all just have to play along
    We know the drinking game and we've all had to play it

    Six degrees of Kevin Bacon
    Start at one actor, get to him in less than 6 tries

    so I'm gonna say Matthew Perry from Friends
    who was with Kevin Pollak in the movie Numb
    was in A Few Good Men with guess who?

    No matter how hard you try
    Never find an alibi
    Stars in Hollywood align with.....

    I gave up bacon yesterday.

    My daughter really wanted some, so I grudgingly shared.

    Oh hell no.

    Bacon stays.
    Wine stays.
    Cheesecake stays.

    Bacon is only 90 calories per serving.
    SELF CONTROL, PEOPLE.

    90 calories of fat and cancer causing nitrates...


    i still eat it every so often but i buy the nitrate free kind and limit myself to two slices and never have it on burgers and sandwiches anymore

    Debbie Downer.

    Do you also drive a prius. Or ride a bicycle? I bed not....and i'm sure you gas guzzling is doing more harm to the earth that that cancer causing nitrates. Because I'm sure you don't dress head to toe everyday and lather on sunblock either to keep yourself away from the sun which emits RADIATION and causes skin cancer...go home debbie..go home.

    Go look at the dosages of processed meats the WHO has found is correlated with cancer. It's best to keep this all in perspective.

    http://www.cancer.org/cancer/news/news/world-health-organization-says-processed-meat-causes-cancer

    "Twenty-two experts from 10 countries reviewed more than 800 studies to reach their conclusions. They found that eating 50 grams of processed meat every day increased the risk of colorectal cancer by 18%. That’s the equivalent of about 4 strips of bacon or 1 hot dog. For red meat, there was evidence of increased risk of colorectal, pancreatic, and prostate cancer.

    Overall, the lifetime risk of someone developing colon cancer is 5%. To put the numbers into perspective, the increased risk from eating the amount of processed meat in the study would raise average lifetime risk to almost 6%."

    If you go through the WHO reports carefully you'll find that pretty much everything "causes" cancer.

    For a fun run down of ways to die, take a look at this: http://www.cdc.gov/nchs/data/nvsr/nvsr64/nvsr64_02.pdf

    Hint: You're destined to die at some point.

    Honestly, burnt to a crisp bacon really ruined the whole thing for me.
