BACON!

*grumble* I rather resent the fact that just because so many others have jumped on the bacon bandwagon that it should be considered a "hipster" thing now.
I don't really, bacon eating is for the most part a weakness not a strength. It doesn't deserve to be cool.
 
Oh, I see... Well I'll just dismiss your irrelevant opinion and hang out with my buddy Warpus! ;)
 
As a point of clarification, I'm fine with bacon-eating itself (I myself enjoy it). Bacon does taste good, and enjoying from time to time is not problematic. The problem I have is aggrandizement of bacon-eating as seen in recent times. It seems like those who heavily promote bacon these days are either: hipster bandwagon jumpers who think bacon is macho (not cool), or curmudgeon reactionaries to an imagined liberal threat of vegetarianism (also not cool).
 
Every house on the planet should be forced to house a pig and turn it in once it is fat enough to produce BACON. This coupled with a massive increase in pig production at farms should allow us to lower the cost of BACON and increase the world's intake of BACON!!!!!!

In 2003, I had similar thoughts regarding fetal stem cells. But then I figured forcing households to do stuff was kinda anti-liberty.

essentially, epic meal time vs. epic meal time
 
My sister got a t-shirt today that has a picture of a pig on it, with lines through it indicating different cuts, and all the legend at the bottom saying "bacon" beside every letter.

I won't see my sister again until January, and she didn't even pick me for secret santa, so she didn't have to get me anything... but she did! So I will treasure this t-shirt and wear it proudly, whether bacon happens to be popular in pop culture or not. Let me know once bacon is popular in muslim and/or jewish pop culture and I'll care then, but for now I just like bacon and that's it.
 
This kills my heart. Bacon isn't cool?

What is this, Nazi germany?

It's not about being cool. It's about taste. It was all always about the taste. If you don't understand that, then I dare say perhaps you should never again put any pork in your mouth again.
 
Perf, using a GDR to destroy my Bacon factory, oh how this circle of CFC continues. You won that fight many years ago lol.
 
PORK BELLY !
(and salami)

Chinese style roast pork belly, pork lump churn and Italian salami.
And of course Christmas has to be double smoked ham.

This is the Internet, of course it's about being cool and not about taste.

Like I've repeatedly said, I'm not down on those who eat bacon, I'm down on those who treat it like it's a big deal.
 
One of my friends wants to get a bacon donut. Like, a donut with bacon in it. I don't understand it.

While it can be good if used moderately and appropriately - a few rashers with breakfast, perhaps as a pizza topping - I think in general bacon is overrated currently. Sure, it's tasty. But bacon everything doesn't make sense. Bacon donuts, bacon vodka, bacon-wrapped Ferraris, all sorts of crazy stuff. I'm sure a few legitimately good combos have been discovered, but they're all buried in a sea of things with bacon for the sake of having bacon, not because it actually makes sense with them.
 
Sausages wrapped in bacon ("pigs in blankets") are really quite tasty. Still, that's just two pork products together. So, not exactly pushing the envelope.
 
I now support a global ban on bacon.
 
There's a wonderful foodstuff called bacon
That you'll find yourself frequently makin'.
In fact, it's such a treat
That some people eat
As much bacon as they c'n well take in.

Ah. But I think you're just saying that to be contrarian.

If there were a global ban, I expect you'd be the first one to parade in the streets with a banner made out of bacon.

Probably while wearing a bacon bikini. Which would go well with your facial hair, I'm thinking.
