One Week Bacon Challenge!

I cannot take credit for this concept. It was inspired by one of my MFP friends who posted this thread:
http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/984219-want-to-live-to-105-eat-more-bacon

Here is the article referenced:
http://www.delish.com/food/recalls-reviews/105-year-old-attributes-bacon-longevity

I want all my MFP friends to live a long healthy life! Therefore I started this thread so that we can challenge ourselves to eat bacon every day for one week! Lets hold each other responsible and get a one week jump start on the path to a healthy 105 year (or longer) life.

At least 15 of my MFP friends have already committed to joining the challenge. Do you have what it takes to join the bacon bandwagon?

Day 1 of 7 will be Friday May 10th!

I will come back and post my bacon consumption details in this thread every day for the next 7 days. Feel free to do the same!

Its bacon time!

    It might not help with this challenge, but I must put a plug in for the best bacon in the world. If you can't get your pork from a reputable local farmer with happy pigs, you can order from this website. I LOVE their bacon ends. They are the meatiest bacon pieces I've ever had, and each "end" is pretty decent in size. And they're great for cooking up just a few pieces to crumble on top of veggies or salad.

    I haven't had my allotment of bacon yet today, but I did cook my kids' scrambled eggs in a little bacon grease. I'm eating Indian for lunch, so... not likely part of the menu. But, I will have leftover brussels sprouts with bacon for dinner.

    Best sprouts recipe on the planet.

    Day 2 recipe idea: bacon and maple meatballs. I've never made these, but they sound damned good. I'm going to pick up some ground sausage and try these tomorrow, but if anyone makes them first, let us know. Lots of porky goodness, maple syrup, sweet potato... What could be better?

    I challenge someone to make this and then use it... with video evidence of course.
