I'm with Monkey... enough about the fish, let's get back to the bacon... What's wrong with bacon???

I read an article recently where scientists had established that many of the "low cholesterol" oils we've all had pushed down our throats for the last three decades, is actually bad for you. Many because although they may be low in cholesterol in their raw form, when you consume them they actually turn on fat storing mechanisms in your body as well as becoming carcinogenic when they have heat applied to them... and margerines are just plain bad for you.

...but here's the kicker... the boffins found the best oil for cooking and for general health is actually lard... yes lard!... but it has to be real lard, made the traditional way... FROM PIGS BELLY FAT!... Lard made from pork belly fat actually turns on fat burning mechanisms in your body and also lowers cholesterol in your body!

I then looked up Pork belly and found out that my fave kind of bacon... streaky bacon... is made from Pork belly... There is a god!

So now I eat Streaky bacon at given opportunity... and don't even feel guilty anymore!... bacon tastes sooo much better (if that's even possible) when there's no guilt attached!

So next time you Hippy mung beans out there are ordering a GMO free Tilapia and Lentil burger on a wheat free bun, you may wanna consider doing your health a favour and get the guy to chuck a coupla rashers of streaky bacon on top!


Except maybe fresh King or Banana prawns!

...Mmmmmm... Prawns wrapped in bacon.... Mmmmmmmm!
