I think I get what you're saying. Bacon for instance gets a bad reputation due to the amount of fat however what most people don't know is it's 54% monounsaturated fat which is the good fat like olive oil.

Bacon isn't "bad" because it's just one part of your diet. It's the totality of your diet that's either healthy or not. If I eat a wholesome balanced diet, and then I have a few slices of bacon with my breakfast and a Twinkie after lunch, the fat in the bacon and the sugar in the Twinkie isn't going to change the fact that I ate a wholesome balanced diet.

Any food that someone out there thinks of as "bad" can fit into a healthy diet in a reasonable portion. And any food that someone out there thinks of as "good" can cause problems if you eat too much.

The only foods that are bad for me as far as I know is burger meat (can eat steak fine) & if I eat something with a lot of peppers (both give me really bad stomach pain/gas).

Other than that & occasional discomfort from fast food greasy items I don't view any foods as good or bad.

avocado. I was surprised how easily avocado fits into my calorie goals

Bacon is another one. Bacon gets a bad rap but in actuality a couple slices is very manageable and satisfying

And, bacon delivers a lot of flavor to an otherwise bland dish. I will typically add a slice of bacon to sauteed fish like salmon or scallops.
