I Knew It!

 Now that I work at the Think Tank, I read a lot of stuff written by Scientists and Experts, like this one study that was just published in the journal Nature Neuroscience, called “Dopamine D2 receptors in addiction-like reward dysfunction and compulsive eating in obese rats,” by Paul M. Johnson & Paul J. Kenny of The Scripps Research Institute.

So what the Doctors found was that rats that ate delicious, yummy BACON had the same addiction-like chemical responses in their brains as rats that do a lot of smack. And because it’s an animal study, the rats were subjected to excruciating pain, and they still ate BACON, just like they kept doing heroin when they were subjected to excruciating pain,   because they were ADDICTED. To heroin. And now also to BACON. And if rats can be addicted to BACON, why not humans, who also—some of them—do heroin, right? 

Some day the hog farmers of Iowa are gonna wise up, and when the BACON cartels control the bacon, then what are you gonna do? Eat so-called “turkey bacon”? I don’t think so.

 Thanks for reading my blog post this time, and may God bless.

Scripps needs to stick to running spelling bees and leave my pork products alone.

I wonder if it is all pork products or something about bacon in particular. Maybe it has to do with being a fried breakfast food and not with being porcine.

Bacon was the only thing I missed when I became a vegetarian.

I kid you not - today was the first lunch that I plan to enjoy for a long long time. My consumption of meat has concerned me for some time now. No addiction issues too overt - I've sorta known about this addiction thingy for a while. If it's not meat, it is *terrific* beer. But I digress. Back to the lunch. Now, when I am craving a big old bacon cheeseburger, I just substitute a black bean patty as the burger with just 2 slices of bacon. A helluva lot less bad for you while still getting a nice balanced chomp of something meaty. Try it.
The Pied Piper eatery in Nashville, TN has a black bean and beet burger than is as stout as an angus burger. And, no, I will not cut back on my beer options in this amazing town.

Sometimes I like a bacon sandwich, on toasted rye, light brush of mayo---forget the lettuce, forget the tomato. But what I really, really like is that ass in the "I ♥ Bacon" panties.

True that; yet actual bacon addicts look a whole lot more like this.

Why not just go to bacon-flavored heroin? Or heroin-rubbed bacon?

Heroin! Peppermint-flavored heroin!

I just had a salad (served at a steakhouse in Moab, UT), that was topped with duck bacon! Amazing stuff, combining the smokiness of bacon with the richness of duck. Well worth a try for anyone dabbling in all things bacon.
