Bacon is healthy......

I had a burger last night with a fried egg, cheddar cheese, and... bacon! It was delicious.

Better remain quiet about this, guys.

Please don't let any favorable commentary on bacon get back to Tex Tush Hog!

But I do love the smell of Bacon cooking and coffee brewing in the morning, don't you? Originally Posted by acp5762

Bacon really isn't that good for ya. Too much nitrate from the curing process. Originally Posted by acp5762

Actually it's sodium NITRITE that is used in the curing process, nitrate is used for the foods requiring a longer curing process like ham and salami. Personally, I think the whole nitrite thing is a bit overblown. Based on the cure mix I use for bacon, the entire amount of nitrate in bacon is miniscule. Equal to approx. .01 teaspoon per pound, or about 4 grains of kosher salt.

AMEN

Bacon comes from a filthy animal that eats shit - it can't be healthy. Originally Posted by Jewish Lawyer

Just a thought. Would bringing along some homemade bacon to a session score extra with the ladies?

I was thinking that maybe the Muslims would be less crazy if they had bacon.

Perhaps we should apply the same reasoning toward some of the crazies on this board. They're obviously bacon-deprived. Or is that depraved?

Bacon causes ED...

Sounds like a personal problem to me.

I will take issue with that statement, it is all about the same, that is according to USDA reg's and having been in the meat business 35+ years
