DailyDirt: Everyone Loves Bacon

from the urls-we-dig-up dept

Bacon is one of the most universally enjoyed foods... it's been called the "gateway meat" for vegetarians (and it's created quite a few ex-vegetarians). If you can't resist bacon, then you'll probably enjoy these links, too.

Smucker's has a Maple Bacon-flavored syrup to make breakfast even more bacon-y. It contains neither bacon nor maple syrup. Discuss. [url]
Can bacon help you during the zombie apocalypse? Maybe not, but it's still delicious. [url]
Need another excuse to love bacon? As a bacon sandwich, it's a hangover cure. Who funds this kind of research... the alcohol industry or the pork lobby? [url]
If you want to prepare for the worldwide shortages of bacon next year, start slowly weaning yourself off the crispy-fatty goodness now. Just focus on bacon's association with increased risk of heart disease and cancer while you experiment with Tempeh or Seitan recipes. [url]

Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.

Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.

While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.

I hate bacon.

It's nothing but grease, fat, gristle, hard crunchy stuff and nothing else.

I'm neither Jewish or Muslim.

I just can't stand that stuff.

*Shudder*

The only thing better than bacon is More BACON!

I'm, noticing Thread Lines instead of List bullets.. hmmm.. can I just say it remind's me of my old Bianca days with real threaded forums and on looooong convoluted threads you don't have to place a finger on the monitor to line up the thread markers (bullets) to figure out where to reply therefre much appreciated and of course...

  Re: I♥Bacon
  Sorry but there are _no_ clinical trials that back up your claim. And there just as many observational studys that a low-carb, high-fat diet reduces obesity and bad cholesterol.

Bacon Imports.
I suppose the quality of bacon is down to where you get it from. In the UK, it's all imported from Denmark, while the UK gets Denmark's finest bacon. Denmark quite literally gets terrible bacon for themselves.
