Why are people not willing to give up eating 🥓 BACON even though it isn't healthy to eat?

[sage2021]

I cannot quit eating bacon!! It tastes so delicious. I see double bacon burgers advertised on tv everyday, and when they show it everyday it makes me want some. How about you? Are you a bacon lover too?

[Andres77]

Yes!!!
I slowed down our consumption of bacon because of the mess it made. I used the mesh screens but when it's time to flip the bacon in all that splattering greese... it still made a mess.
Then I joined a chili contest and needed all the burners for my special ingredients so I used the oven to bake my bacon.
AWESOME!!!
Baking bacon, 350 for 15. Perfect.
Adjust for your oven.
Every single time, perfect, I push the pan back so it tilts up just a bit and the grease runs to one side of the pizza pan.
Just wonderful.
And don't get me started on the air fryer... just 6 minutes!😳

[Andres77]

I'm air frying marinated shrimp over bacon grease from breakfast now.
I'll tell you how they turned out in 10 minutes

[Andres77]

The shrimp were already cooked and frozen.
Marinate in the fridge in a mixing bowl in sweet soy sauce, a little Cholula and teriyaki sauce.
I made bacon in the air fryer, perfect.
Then put the shrimp in. 390 for 6 minutes.
Yumm...

@Andres77 thanks for the info. shrimp 🍤 and bacon 🥓 are my favorites!

I don't eat bacon that often, but I love it. I don't shy away from it.

We're exposed to many other things every day that are worse for out heath. I'm not going to give up delicious food just because some "study" says it poses health risks. They said that about butter, coffee, and other things at one time. Sugar is bad for you but I still eat it.

One of my favorite things is bacon on toast with peanut butter. Bacon with breakfast or on a cheeseburger is also fantastic. Bacon enhances other dishes, too.

For home, we buy bacon that isn't treated with nitrates or nitrites.

If people stopped eating everything that is bad for us we would end up starving. The key to it all is moderation.

@sage2021 thanks for a MHO.

[sheikalana]

Because it's so yummy and delicious and I only eat it once or twice a year.

[FunkyMonkee]

I haven't have a bacon burger in years!! If bacon is so bad for you, why does everybody eat ham on Easter? I made some a few days ago and it smelled exactly like bacon!

[MakeUpModel91]

Bacon isn't too unhealthy when you grill it with no fat.

[Surely]

@MakeUpModel91. How do you grill with no fat? When bacon 🥓 is 50 % or more fat to begin with!
It is the fat that gives it the flavor.

[MakeUpModel91]

@Surely well my friend lost a huge amount of weight and that's with eating bacon too. Meat is part of a healthy diet if you eat it in moderation without any fat.

[Hellodownthere]

I eat bacon almost every day. I'm not giving it up. It's a drug for me.

[joeldalton]

Don’t let people try to ruin your life. Eat the bacon.

[exitseven]

I only have it very rarely, maybe three or four times a year. I would eat it every day if it wasn't so bad. I might have it as a topping on a hamburger too.

[888theGreat]

I eat the fake bacon , but I will not give up sausage or pork loin. It is very unhealthy in Iraq , they will cut your head off for eating Porky while they are eating dogs.

[UniquelyBasic]

Dont mess with a person's bacon

[In_Trance]

agreed. Bacon is that good

[ChiTown33]

Blasphemy! Pork is my States primary export.

[abbie_wright]
