I know that vegetables are my friend. I also know that I could live on a plant-based diet. My wife is a Pescatarian (which is a fancy way of saying that she eats mostly plant-based stuff, but also thinks that eating fish is okay).
I choose however, to eat meat. I eat meat because I think that animals are tasty and if I wasn't supposed to kill them - and eat them - then they simply wouldn't be so tasty to begin with.
Enter bacon. I really like bacon.
Perhaps not to the extreme of a friend of mine who has a carved-in-wood-plaque the size of his mantle over the fireplace, which simply reads: "BACON IS LOVE".
No, not quite like that, but I do love bacon.
This brings me to something that many of you may already know of; Costco and Sam's Club have bags of cooked, crumbled bacon that you can put in anything you like. It's diabolical how easy they make it to pig-out on bacon. In case you don't believe me, here are photos of the packages:
1-1/4 pounds of pre-cooked-ready-to-toss-down-your-pie-hole, bacon. Suffice it to say, that I am on my third year of continuously having a bag of this stuff in the refrigerator.
My DS (when he is home) likes to throw a little in an omelet in the morning. I like some on my salad. Don't get me wrong, I'm not piling this stuff into a cereal bowl and spooning it in my face. If you don't have any will power, then I might suggest staying away from this stuff.
Judiciously used - a bag of it lasts a long time - unless I have friends over for brunch on the weekend.
I belong to both clubs, and I can tell you that there is no difference between the brands. They are probably both packaged by the same manufacturer. I will tell you this however, it's pretty pricey stuff (about $11 either place).
I appreciate everyone's concern about my heart, but I assure you that I could quit at any time. This stuff doesn't have a hold on me.
