Thought I'd start a thread dedicated to Bacon Rex, the king of foods. The purpose of this thread is to bask in the glory of all things bacon and share your favourite bacon moment with the rest of us, be it a cooking recipe, arts and crafts involving bacon or something else entirely. Anything goes, as long as it involves bacon in some form or another. To start off: Thinkgeek has a wide selection of bacon-related items for sale, including this awesome bacon-shaped talking plush toy:  And of course there's also the Tactical Canned Bacon:  ------------- With magic, you can turn a frog into a prince.

Bacon is the one meat I probably would really struggle to give up.
I love all types of bacon, back, streaky, smoked, unsmoked etc etc, but I'm very fussy about how it's cooked. It has to be well done for me, and that doesn't mean cremated, it simply means 'done' Some people really seem to struggle with that. ------------- Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy! |

Wild turkey bourbon is kosher right? Right? Well yeah if you're a observant Jew than yeah no pork but if you're secular it's not hard to find the goods!

An ounce of bacon has 31mg of cholesterol - that 'wich has 1 pound of bacon - ergo total 496mg ... still higher than the recommended daily allowance, but 5 times less than your figure.
Eating HDL cholesterol does not necessarily contribute to your cholesterol levels, cholesterol intake in food has little, if any, effect on total body cholesterol content or concentrations of cholesterol in the blood - your body makes cholesterol - do you think pigs eat a high cholesterol diet? - no, of course they don't - the pig's liver synthesises cholesterol as does a human's.
It's a common fallacy that the food you eat directly is directly attributed to the "ailment" - high sugar intake does not cause diabetes, high cholesterol intake does not result in high cholesterol levels, salt does not result in high blood pressure, carbohydrates do not make you fat, etc... ------------- What? |

Then why the cardiologists give us a diet low in cholesterol? Of course your body makes more or less cholesterol depending on how your organism metabolizes the fat andd it's true that HDL Cholesterol is good, but bacon is 100% LDL Cholesterol According to Harvard University Medical Department, 1 gram of bacon has 1.2 mgms of LDL (bad) cholesterol and 0% of HDL (good), that sandwich has no less than two kilos of bacon.
