Bacon is good thread.

Horray for Sir Francis Bacon, initial developer of the Scientific Method! Surely he had a love for bacon as well.

Whenever you read something that talks about raising your chances of a disease, it is almost always laughably small.

(All following numbers are made up--that is, imaginary--for example purposes) Say that it is found that for vegans, on average 72 out of every ten thousand (10,000) will get heart disease. Then say that it was found that bacon eaters had a 50% greater chance of getting heart disease than vegans. This might sound very bad for bacon eaters, 50% more is a huge jump in chance! But no. If you take the original statistic, it would mean that 108 out of every 10,000 bacon eaters will get heart disease. That means that on average, a bacon eater has slightly over a 1% chance of getting heart disease. A vegan has 0.7% chance of heart disease (and doesn't eat bacon = terrible life).

Even though these studies always show that for large numbers doing something may give you a large increase in chance of getting a disease/condition, it can often make it very close to no chance of increase per person. This doesn't mean you shouldn't be careful, but on the large scale as long as you try to live a decent lifestyle you aren't pushing your odds too far either way. :P

anyway... for someone who love sports and do athletic staff bacon is out of the question ;)

 

[FinalPyre]

But surely not Sir Francis' bacon.

Lol well if youre one of those more extreme athletes then you would feel a difference in your performance after doing certain things but im sure that most of us arent ;p But most stats are made up in some way or another... some manipulated so they seem much more than they are~

 

[Dark Angel]

anyway i am staying away from bacon

 

[Ghost Kitty~]

Hmm last i had bacon... was probably a month ago xD Mehs its at random times for me~

As @FynalPyre points out they often manipulate statistics and numbers in cunning ways....and the waste majority of the public trust these numbers as if it where God. Something marketers are well aware of.

I know they did that with Aspertam (Nurtasweet) (an artificial sweetener)
To hide its many ill effects

Don't eat bacon! HURRAY !!!

They say pork meat is the type of flesh that resembles our own the most btw...

Plus pigs actually store toxins in their flesh, unlike certain other 'pure' animals...which store toxin in their fat instead afaik....And that you can just cut away.

Eyyh I do that too ! In fact after I started doing it its become somewhat addicting...

I probably eat more than 2-3 times a week usually.... And its marinated so it tastes uber yummy with vegetables wrapped in whole wheat tortillas. Been making it for years.

I'm afraid to cut mys elf now though hahha or my blood will stream out under high pressure just like in anime :D

not in chicken the pan...I see >P

Thats what I like best chicken and fish... and then ground beef at a 3rd.
Don't want too much red meat for some reason, just feels too "heavy".

 

[Ghost Kitty~]

Hmm... i do like fish quite a bit~ Different kinds taste better than others~

 

[FinalPyre]

Fish is good! I usually have fish about once a week. :)

 

[Ghost Kitty~]

Hmm... better than bacon? ;p

 

[FinalPyre]

Some fish are carriers of mercury, and such is not a problem with the divine bacon.

 

[Ghost Kitty~]

Lol like dolphin xD But didnt someone just say bacon had some toxins in it as well? ;p

 

[FinalPyre]

If you mean it is toxically tasty.

 

[Ghost Kitty~]
