On top of bacon being bad for your cholesterol levels, pigs are vulnerable to both avian and human flu viruses effectively becoming a platform/vector from which new mutated viruses from the bird world can get to us.

http://brownfieldagnews.com/2009/10/23/record-pork-production-during-september/
USDA reports that pork production during September was a record for the month at 2 billion pounds. That’s with a modest decline in hog slaughter being offset by a 2% increase in the average live weight thanks to cooler temperatures and slightly cheaper feed.
Beef production was down 2% from last year at 2.23 billion pounds. September’s slaughter was down 3% from last year but the average live weight was up 1%.
September’s total commercial red meat production came out at 4.26 billion pounds, compared to September 2008’s 4.27 billion. So far this year, total red meat production is down 2% at 36.8 billion pounds.

Start adding up the pollution and cleanup costs of pork related production, cost of vaccines against H1N1, medical costs related to fixing clogged arteries, paying heart surgeons to repair heart attack damage and related expensive long-term medication.

What's the point of health care programs knowing that bacon is way more dangerous than cigarettes :D

You can have my bacon when you pry it from my cold, dead, greasy fingers!

And researchers in New Zealand have determined that your average dog has a larger 'carbon footprint' than a Hummer, so your dogs have gotta go, too, because they are causing global warming.

ROFL !!!

Wish someone would come up with an alternative... replicating the taste, texture without the negatives would make you a billionaire but you'd be damaging the powerful drug industry and maybe slowing down research on heart diseases. You'd have cleaner streams and lakes but then that would also kill the water processing and bottling industry (Coca-Cola lol).

Maybe not such a good idea in a recession :D

Key phrase in that report: "The study apparently didn't take into account the emissions of either the SUV or the dogs." On a hunch I'm going to guess the SUV's are slightly higher by roughly 1000%.

Hummers however are merely a means of transport and not the most delicious of all the delicious salty meats that can be found on this earth. Hummer's a fad, bacon's FOR LIFE!
 
I will die before I give up bacon. I have it every time I get a 'Chicken/Bacon' sub from Subway too. That just wouldnt taste the same without it (and the southwest sauce).

One thing I dont understand though is you Americans and your combining of bacon and sweet stuff. Freaks me out.
 
Sorry, I will gladly fight to the bitter end for my right to consume delicious, delicious bacon. A world without double bacon cheeseburgers is not a world I wish to live in, a heart attack is a small price to pay for such deliciousness.

I'm with you on that one. I can take or leave pork EXCEPT for bacon. Why is the good stuff bad for us? Why doesn't tofu raise cholesterol?

This makes me a hypocrite because I think the pig is a pretty darned intelligent creature. No such personal qualms about chicken and turkey.
