Poll: Do You Still Eat Bacon?

RinaRina — Sun, 17 Feb 2019 16:02:14 GMT

Yes

I'm on Keto and have been eating a lot of bacon.

Wondering if it's ... healthy?

Not after I read how pigs are treated - cruel and inhumane.

No...not for most of my life. Pigs are intelligent animals and have feelings like we do, I could no more eat my arm than another animal.

Having said that, I don't make judgments about what others choose to do because I do understand that most people tend to do what their parents did and don't know the violence of farm factory practices. We are not used to questioning what we have always known. I love my lifestyle, it brings me much happiness and health.

To answer your question, no it is not healthy for many reasons,.

@RinaRina I think too much bacon is unhealthy..too much animal fat of any kind is not good for your body.I am not vegetarian but we eat very little meat and fish.

I look for it on vacations - that's when I go all out. Pancakes/waffles - eggs + bacon and white toast w/butter.

Bacon on burgers don't count, that's a garnish

I agree with you so much !!! I started being a vegatarian at 12 or 13, after seeing a movie on slaughter houses. I watch all my ingredients in items, and in cheese. It makes no sense to me, killing animals in 2019. We have so many other choices available to us. I lean toward being a vegan, but i slip up at times with cheese.

No, I think it's poison--too much fat, too much salt. But I do occasionally eat turkey sausage.

No, but it's never been a part of my diet.

Re: Poll: Do You Still Eat Bacon?

Perkup — Sun, 17 Feb 2019 16:54:46 GMT

Yes. I just had some bacon bits this morning mixed into my scrambled eggs. Otherwise I do not eat meat. Just fish, shrimp, etc. Not a moral thing - I just don't care for it. But a little bacon is such a wonderful sesoning thing! Also I should add I am diabetic, so I choose sugar free bacon. Applegate makes a good one, and I find it at Fresh Market. As for the pigs, I am sorry for the way they are treated, but I'm pretty sure my eating bacon isn't going to affect that.

And by the way Sidemom, I never smoked, never thoght about smoking, and hate the smell of smoke.

Rarely, maybe 2 or 3x a year.

Both smoking and eating pigs are carcinogens....totally reasonable to put them in the same category, If you are concerned about your health, you would do neither.

I understand the question because we have been raised with the idea that eating meat and dairy is healthy. The same prejudice existed when smoking cigarettes was questioned. If you do a little digging, you can easily find research to support that this is not the case. It is challenging to shift old habits and beliefs.

@Daludog -

They now sell cheese without the animal enzyme. On the ingredients it will say plant enzymes or mineral enzymes

Trader Joes has it and maybe other stores too!

Re: Poll: Do You Still Eat Bacon?

proudlyfromNJ — Sun, 17 Feb 2019 17:14:07 GMT

Yes, we eat bacon maybe every four months or so.

True.

At one time Physicians smoked in their office, and only 35-40 yrs

ago, employees could smoke at their desk...so the shift will be slow.

It’ll be more than boogeyman scary stuff to change the minds

of the American Public. The Meat/Dairy Lobbists claws

are dug in fairly deep...

@phoenixbrd

Sometimes I think a few of us are living in 3019....so far ahead of the curve!
