    The article is funny, but the comments at the end are funnier.

    Ha-ha funny, or facepalm funny?

    I'm scared to look.

    I skimmed some of the beginning. It's like reading MFP.

    I never knew that avocados were once considered a "sinful treat"

    Oh for sure! I recall the late 1970s or early 1980s they were shamed for their fat content, and who can forget the early/mid-1990's FAT FREE fad (i.e., the Snackwells Years).

    This is a great article if you just kind of skim it and pretend the title is "Here are some delicious foods I like to eat."

    This made me laugh out loud. (because it's true)

    And, I don't understand how bacon is bad. I eat uncured, no-sugar, no-nitrate, hickory smoked bacon and I don't understand why the salted or smoked part of it would make it bad. Isn't that how they made meat last longer before someone invented refrigerators?

    ETA: I would eat a maple bacon donut in a heartbeat, no questions asked (except why is the bacon "bad"?) :D

    1. I eat eggs everyday. Mostly egg whites (never really liked the yoke unless scrambled), but some things need whole eggs.
    2. Don't love read meat. Feel too sluggish after eating it. Still eat cold cuts on occasion and love me some sausage. All things in moderation.
    3. Don't love butter, but will use it when needed.
    4. Don't mess with my coffee.
    5. Don't mess with my avocados.

    Bacon is, by definition, cured pork. Your "uncured" bacon most likely lists celery juice as an ingredient. Celery is a great source of sodium nitrite and that's the stuff that cures it and turns it that tantalizing pink color and contributes to its flavor.

    Real uncured bacon would be pork belly. Also delicious. But it's not bacon.

    So wait, let's see if I've got this right.
    Pork = Good
    Salt = Ok
    Salt + Pork + Water + Time = Bad

    I don't get it. Is the water in bacon bad, or is it the time? Should I try to cut back on my water intake?

    ive had maple bacon doughnuts like that before.

    it wasn't nearly as good as I had built up in my mind (and i was soooooooooooo disappointed!) BUT... they used bacon bits and not the real stuff, which is kind of nasty anyways. Should I run across them with real bacon i would try it again....

    now back to the stuff that will kill us....

    I don't like bacon on it's own, but paring it with something sweet just makes me want it. :yum:

    You have brought joy and inspiration. I quickly googled bacon donuts, found out there's a food festival soon in my city where The Homer will be served (donut with vanilla glaze, raw sugar and chocolate bacon chunks), and now I have wonderful weekend plans.

    Someone made something similar when I was going through university. It was a few layers of bacon weave between sponge cake. Absolutely disgusting. I just took out the bacon and ate it on its own, and threw away the grease soaked sponge cake.

    Bacon bits? Those little soy thingies that people sprinkle on their salad and keep in their spice cabinet? Ew. You got cheated.
