Too much bacon

Karlifornia · 05-31-2007, 02:41 PM

Sometimes, I'll eat 6-8 pieces of bacon just as a snack. I don't even weigh 150 pounds, so obesity isn't an issue. But I'm a bit concerned that I'm addicted to bacon. Does anyone else just fry up some bacon for a snack?

Bubba Wheels · 05-31-2007, 02:44 PM

Mmmmm, bacon... Best new sub ever, Jimmy John's Italian combo sub with ham and ... mmmmmmm....

Pumpy Tudors · 05-31-2007, 02:45 PM

I do it. It's yummy.

flere-imsaho · 05-31-2007, 02:46 PM

I love bacon, but I also have (due to genetics), low "good" cholesterol, so I don't have it that often.

No, I never fry up bacon as a snack. But if you're not fat, I don't see anything wrong with it if you want to do it. Hell, even if you are fat, at least you're going out in style.

Logan · 05-31-2007, 02:48 PM

Yeah you might not have to worry about obesity, but I hear heart disease is a bitch.

Too much effort to fry up bacon for a snack. If I need to fill my pork snack need, I'll eat pork rinds...

I used to love those, until I started finding pores and hair on them.

Just thinking of that again makes me want to puke.

Just because you're skinny doesn't mean you're healthy. Stick to Turkey Bacon if you have to eat it.

My college roommate used to go to Brower Commons (good old Rutgers) and ask for an entire plate of bacon on the weekends. A plate of bacon and 3 glasses of milk. I learned CPR that semester just in case.

JonInMiddleGA · 05-31-2007, 03:45 PM

I don't think I've ever eaten it as a snack, although I've made a meal of it on occasion. Basically, there's few foods that can't be improved by the presence of bacon (especially adding bacon to a tuna melt) and there's really almost no such thing as "too much bacon".

Anthony · 05-31-2007, 04:46 PM

i eat turkey bacon. tastes good too and easier on my heart.

Izulde · 05-31-2007, 04:51 PM

It's got to be crisp bacon. If it's crisp, load it up. Bacon/Lettuce/Mayo sandwiches ftw.

Dr. Sak · 05-31-2007, 04:56 PM

I enjoy having breakfast in bed. I like waking up to the smell of bacon, sue me. And since I don't have a butler, I have to do it myself. So, most nights before I go to bed, I will lay six strips of bacon out on my George Foreman grill. Then I go to sleep. When I wake up, I plug in the grill. I go back to sleep again. Then I wake up to the smell of crackling bacon. It is delicious, it's good for me, it's the perfect way to start the day.

Izulde · 05-31-2007, 05:00 PM

This thread made me hungry for bacon but I already started the Kraft Macaroni and Cheese

That would work with bacon too.

That bacon was so god damn greasy. I could only handle picking through the trays for the most well-done pieces.

sabotai · 05-31-2007, 05:51 PM

I put no...but I honestly never thought of eating bacon as a snack....interesting.

korme · 05-31-2007, 06:03 PM

My roomate had pre-cooked bacon chillin in the fridge and we would get drunk, come home, and bash that shit without heating it up. So juicy!

Mac Howard · 05-31-2007, 06:15 PM

Damn you! I haven't had breakfast yet and it was going to be a couple of pieces of toast and coffee

And for some reason now I'm thinking of the banter in "If I Had $1000000".

"They have pre-wrapped sausages, but they don't have pre-wrapped bacon."

Tyrith · 05-31-2007, 09:21 PM

I can add my name to the unheated precooked bacon crowd. I love bacon -- I don't eat on a regular basis typically, but what meat I do eat is usually bacon. And the already cooked stuff is so just convenient, even if it does get grease all over my hands.

Swaggs · 05-31-2007, 09:26 PM

Definitely go with the turkey bacon. It is just as good (I think it is even better) and about a million times more lean.

Lathum · 05-31-2007, 09:30 PM

I eat vegetarian bacon as a snack occasionaly.

Turkey bacon has an interesting flavor. If I haven't eaten it for a while I like it as much as normal bacon, but eventually I get tired of it, and I haven't ever had that problem with pork bacon. I guess it's one of those early childhood things or something.
