The New BLA: “Help me! I Love Bacon!”

There are many people who are not even sure what the purpose of the group is, and who can blame them? A name like Bacon Lovers Anonymous can easily be misunderstood. It is not for the lovers of bacon to get together and share their love of bacon. No. It is for those in the world which are truly addicted to bacon, and need help to quit their habit.
No one is really sure as to who is behind the new BLA, and are not sure whether to take their announcements seriously. The group was founded by a Mr. Ba Kon from South Korea. Mr. Ba Kon created the BLA so that he could find other bacon lovers, who suffered from their love of bacon, much like he himself does.
“It's horrible,” Mr. Ba Kon explained, “My neighbors always complain about the smell of bacon in the morning, and I'm upset they don't share my love of bacon.”  He added that he realized he was burdening the neighborhood with his habit, and is actively seeking out others, so that they may help each other curb their desires for the tasty breakfast food.
Well, I love bacon, but I don't really see it as a big problem. But then again, I only eat bacon once in a blue moon, so it really isn't a problem for me. It's good to see that there is a group out there for you, if you feel that you cannot control your achin' for bacon.

I Love Bacon and There Isn’t Anything You Can Do About It

Bacon is delicious.  It almost feels like we could end this right there.  That one simple statement tells the story for millions of us.  But we cannot stop there, because there is more to it.  As a much as I love bacon I know it is not the most healthy thing for me to be eating.  It is hard to admit, but it is true.  In fact, I have actually cut back on my bacon consumption.  It was not easy, but it was something we all have to do sometimes, that or we end up paying the piper.  In this case, the piper would be the cardiologist.  So what can you do to still enjoy bacon and minimize the risks of poor health?

First, we should get something clear I am not going to tell you to eat turkey bacon, or low sodium bacon, or any of those other fake bacons.  What I am talking about is straight from the pig, high fat, bad for you bacon.  It is the only kind a self respecting bacon lover will eat.  So, here is how I enjoy my daily dose of bacon, and still keep my doctors at bay.  First, if you are going to eat the bacon that you love so much, you need to do it in moderation.  It is easy to sit down and eat the whole pound, but you have to stop doing that or you will be flat on your back clutching your chest before you turn 50.  Next, you need to cut out some of the other unhealthy foods in your diet.  Bacon takes away an awful lot of your cheating points.  Enjoying your bacon means making sacrifices everywhere else.  Finally get out and get some exercise.  Make sure to keep that ticker, tickin’.  You know what bacon grease looks like after it has been sitting in a pan for an hour; well that is what it is doing inside you too.  The only way to keep those arteries unclogged and still enjoy delicious bacon, is to get out there and get your heart rate up, and no your heart racing right before the bacon hits your lips does not count.

I love bacon, and I should not have to deprive myself of something that has been a staple of our diet, and our parent’s diet, and their parent’s diet just because a few doctors say it is not good for you.  Ok so there is more than a few.  The point is, bacon is just like everything else, if you eat it in moderation, it is not going to kill you.  Please enjoy your bacon, but do it responsibly.

It's Bacon and I Love Bacon

          I love bacon!  And if that’s wrong, sue me!  It is frenzy right now.  Why wouldn’t it be?  It is crunchy, nourishing, mouth drenching and has a deep lingering aroma.  Seriously, bacon has been consumed around the world for centuries; it’s a worldwide enjoyment.

I’m pleased to be a pork-aholic and ya know, there are a lot of great things about bacon.  Seriously, name one other single ingredient that adds the amount of flavor, crunch and pop that bacon does.  On a sandwich, pizza, a sidebar to eggs, crumbled over a salad, think pasta carbonara without bacon – SINFUL.  There is simply no substitute. You can incorporate it into breakfast, lunch, dinner and now, my friend, oh yes, they make bacon infused vodka – soooooooooooo, lets see, is there a bacon martini with your name on it?  Because, believe me, I am sipping on one as I write this.  Simply divine.  Not sure if its healthier to drink or eat bacon, but honestly, moderation is key here.  No reason to deprive yourself of something so utterly delicious, so utterly divine --- it actually makes your taste buds dance.

If you love bacon, like I love bacon --- Go ahead, indulge a little -  after all you have excellent taste~

I Love Bacon Cinnamon Rolls

 I have to admit when I heard then woman in front of me in line exclaim, “I love bacon cinnamon rolls!” I thought she must be a little bit nutty.  I mean c'mon. Bacon...and cinnamon rolls?  Who puts bacon in a cinnamon roll?  But I guess I'm a little bit behind on the times here.  I wasn't aware that everybody in America was putting bacon into every dish they cook now.  I'll have to hurry to catch up.

Apparently folks are putting bacon into everything.  I've seen recipes for bacon brownies and bacon chocolate chip cookies.  So these bacon cinnamon rolls are not that uncommon I guess.  But chocolate covered bacon?  That sounds like something only a true bacon lover could eat!

I've seen recipes for hot dogs, wrapped in bacon, deep fried, covered in cheese and sprinkled with more bacon bits.  I've seen a recipe for a Bacturduckenon – a whole chicken stuffed with bacon baked inside of a whole duck baked inside of a whole turkey and wrapped with more bacon.  I've seen bacon weaves and even Baconhenge.

I've even seen bacon gifts and T-shirts and Kevin Bacon movie memorabilia.  The whole world has going bacon crazy and I'm just now finding out about it!  There are bacon cocktails made with Bakon vodka.  There are bacon spreads and bacon salts.  There are bacon bandages and even bacon flavored lip gloss!  And I just keep remembering that woman shouting, “I love bacon cinnamon rolls!”  It must be very scary right now to be a pig!
