    Bullshit science. These imbeciles still believe the discredited Ancel Keys, George McGovern, American Heart Association, USDA commodity based corporate lobbying bullshit fake science that meat, saturated fat and animal foods are bad for you.
    This is all a myth.
    Meat, eggs, bacon, cheese and butter are all perfectly healthy. The science was cherry picked, faked, manipulated and lied to us by those clowns I already mentioned as well as the medical industrial complex, government agencies, as well as carbohydrate based food manufacturers and prescription drug industry.
    Of course most people are basically idiots, and will never learn the truth about real nutrition because the average moron who watches this channel blindly just accepts the lies told to us by the profit makers and never question anything said by an official source or anybody wearing a white coat…

    Saturated fat is also GOOD for you – news flash !!! Honestly, y'all really have to rethink what you consider science. Bacon, when cured, actually INCREASES in nutritive value! MOST of the belly fat is monounsaturated (like olive oil) and the rest is good old lard that never hurt any human ever. Listen to Dr. Westman, not Dr. Keys.

    I dislike bacon not because of the taste but because I like pigs as animals and just hate their farm treatment.
    But…
    If lab grown meat becomes a thing I may start eating it again.

    Our body makes nitrates naturally, does that mean we should only have our bodies in moderation.
    When we eat fruit high in antioxidants our body stops producing its own so what's the point consuming more when our body says no more.
    Fat gives us fuel and makes us feel full while carbs just want more carbs which turn to fat.

    Fruit has sugar which spikes your Blood sugar response thus rising insulin. If you combine any fat including bacon with sugar… You'll get fat. Do not combine sugar with any fat, in fact don't eat sugar with anything… If you must eat sugar eat it by itself or with fiber though fiber bloats you.
