BACON!

[warpus]

As if Canadian bacon was actually bacon.

Even toweled off, it is still greasy and salty.

This might sound blasphemous, but Canadian bacon isn't bacon. It's basically just ham. I mean, come on.

I think we invented Canadian bacon so that when people come to visit they say: "Ohh, Canadian bacon, let's try that" and leave our regular bacon supplies alone.

Why?

Bacon is grossly overused. As an accent to tother things, it has a place, but the many problems that come with are prohibitive of more usage--at least by sensible people.

It's an epic meme. Simply epic. Can't you appreciate that?

 

[bhsup]

Screw memes, i sometimes just do up some bacon to snack on. There is a reason it is a meme.

That would be a plausible explanation if Canada had so many visitors as to threaten its bacon supplies. But I doubt he will.

Bacon discussions always remind me of Ezekiel 16:49

I only buy ecological pork, so bacon-on-everything is not viable for me.

Shame on those of you that buy conventional pork. You suck.

 

[bhsup]

What in the blue blazes is ecological pork? Is that like free range chicken?

You don't always have to use pork to get bacon its just the best kind. Turkey bacon, cow bacon, squirrel bacon, deer bacon, etc etc etc. but pig bacon is simply amazing.

Bacon tastes hella good but I don't like eating pigs, they can play video games.

 

[El_Machinae]

Yeah, 1 Corinthians 8:13 suggested I shouldn't bring attention of eating bacon to non-bacon eaters.

If we're going all biblical...

And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.

1 And God blessed Noah and his sons, and said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth. 2 And the fear of you and the dread of you shall be upon every beast of the earth, and upon every fowl of the air, upon all that moveth upon the earth, and upon all the fishes of the sea; into your hand are they delivered. 3 Every moving thing that liveth shall be meat for you; even as the green herb have I given you all things.

Bacon discussions always remind me of Ezekiel 16:49

It reminds me more of Genesis:

In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth,
The earth was a porkless void and darkness covered the face of the deep, while a wind from God swept over the face of the waters.

Then God said, "Let there be bacon"; and there was bacon, and light, so they could see the bacon.
And God took a bite and saw that bacon was the best.

I'm a foodie. Of course I can appreciate wallowing in excess. That does not mean I condone it.

At times like this I wish I wasn't a pescetarian. Bacon tastes so good.

 

[El_Machinae]

If we're going all biblical...

Neither of those influence Paul's point. You can think it's okay to eat pork all you want, Paul said that you were still supposed to be empathic towards the moral leanings of the people who choose not to eat the meat.

It's not like 1 Corinthians 8:13 says "but ignore the namby-pambies, Genesis clearly says it's okay to eat pork, so have at 'er" ...

Paul was not ignorant of Genesis when he wrote that.

Like I said, though. Once I realized that pork-eating was a 'detestable thing' and that pigs were maybe sapient AND that bacon consumption is easily associated with gluttony, Ezekial 16:49-50 commonly comes to mind.

I used to love bacon sandwiches, I really did.

But I don't think I've really enjoyed one for a long time.

I don't understand all these Biblical references, though.

Here's Ezekiel 16:49-50

49 Behold, this was the iniquity of thy sister Sodom, pride, fulness of bread, and abundance of idleness was in her and in her daughters, neither did she strengthen the hand of the poor and needy.

50 And they were haughty, and committed abomination before me: therefore I took them away as I saw good.
