| >> | Bacon is extremely high in trans fats, saturated fats and colesterol, not only qill it fuck up your veins and arteries, but your brain needs fats to metabolize, primarily omega 3 from Flax or oily fish. recent studies have concluded that trans fats will actually shrink your brain. the way they raise them is no good either, and all of them are fed diets of rotten milk and bread or protein pellets made from bacon. They are also carriers of hook-worms, tape worms that have barbed heads so they scrap and cling onto your intestines, causing infection and possibly entering your blood stream.
not to mention the cons of being a ham-beast such as poor fertility, poor physical condition, poor mobility and rapid death.
apart from that, bacon is good, I eat it at least twice a month, but no more than that. it's the ones who use it as a primary source of protein that fail.
Maybe the agro-industry could find new alternatives for meat, and if not replace meat than replace the source, different regions of the world adapt their plates to different food, but once again, here comes the white man dragging the donkey off the boat.
In Canada, people also eat Bison, Kangaroo, Angus, Wild Boar, Venison, Lamb, fuckloads of fish, Moose, Seal, Horse, Goose, Partridge, you name it, someone has eaten it, from a grocery store. it's pricier depending on where you're at, but sometimes Bison or Deer comes up cheaper than beef or pork, laugh all you want, they taste good, its healthy as fuck and not much difference between a cow and a buffalo.
Different provinces have different imports of course, like seal can really only be found in the barren north and newfoundland.
In my opinion, Bacon is just a product which became popular because people needed to feel part of a certain '50s bacon and eggs for breakfast image, and it just caught on, the farms got bigger, the meat got cheaper until 100% beef meant that your beef patty was made from pink pig goo deemed "beef product" because it was meant as an additive to beef, but they just skipped the step where beef is involved. |
