Bacon is a gateway meat

Because bacon is one- to two-thirds fat and also has lots of protein, it speaks to our evolutionary quest for calories, Lundstrom says. And since 90 percent of what we taste is really odor, bacon's aggressive smell delivers a powerful hit to our sense of how good it will taste.

"There's an intimate connection between odor and emotion, and odor and memory," Lundstrom says. "When you pair that with the social atmosphere of weekend breakfast and hunger, bacon is in the perfect position to take advantage of how the brain is wired."

I guess bacon is ok. I mean, if you're into liking the best food ever...

I like this little gem at the end of the article:

"Sure, it's loaded with fat and salt, and Americans eat far more of it than what's good for the planet. But in the immortal words of Homer (Simpson, not the other one), "Mmmmm. Bacon."

It seems the media is launching a war on meat lately....

The last few weeks I've seen articles and ads attacking meat consumption because it is "bad for the planet", some even suggesting us Westerners to eat bugs!

To the envrionmentalists - I will put my life on the line for the freedom to eat as much meat as I please.

and to the vegetarians.....

No chicken is a gateway meat. Doesn't really taste to strong to put them off. bacon is like the Heroin of meats, one you get hooked on that #### only some Dr Phil style intervention is getting you off it.

What are empty calories anyway? Are there full calories?
