I knew it, I knew it, I knew it! First they come for my chicken, and now my bacon, no not my bacon! One thing is certain regarding Americans and that is the majority of us love bacon, the smell, the taste, oh how faithful it is to our taste-buds. But did you know, based on recent research done by the Research Division on the World Health Organization (WHO) announced on Monday October 26, 2015 that bacon, sausage and other processed meats are linked to cancer? This is based off of years of research from animal experiments, cell mechanisms, and studies of human diet health. Well sadly it's time we face the truth about our eating habits and choice of consumption and ask ourselves the ever evolving question, "Do the foods we love, love us back?"

I have reduced my bacon intake considerably. Now I only eat it on occasion. I eat more fruits, veggies, chicken and fish. Despite this recent news, Americans will always have a love affair with bacon and will continue to consume it by the tons because even though it's bad for us, it still taste good.
ReplyDeleteI don't usually eat bacon, I eat bacon once in a while. I agree with Natalie it does taste good.
