This Week in Bacon

Posted by Baylen on Feb. 3, 2009

skitched-20090203-112408.jpgBacon truism: everything tastes better with bacon. But how about bacon bacon bacon, 24/7? Could you eat nothing but bacon for a whole month? I mean, (nearly) everything tastes better with Tabasco, but I most certainly couldn’t subsist on it alone for a day, nevermind a month.

Nevertheless, one dude is on a visionary quest to eat bacon every day this monthlet:

I’ll get right to the good stuff: for the entire month of February, 2009, I, Michael J. Nelson will eat nothing but bacon. Nothing, my friends, but bacon.

Why? Because bacon is nature’s finest and most nourishing food. Also, because several doubters on the RiffTrax staff had the unmitigated gall to insult bacon by making the outrageous claim that, as good as it is, no one could eat very much of it and live. I can and will. Therefore I will spend the month proving it.

Surprisingly, this is only the second weirdest food news I’ve read today. First prize goes to Gwyneth Paltrow, who writes about the joys of “bowel elimination” at her personal website, Goop.com.

    WOW. Good luck to Mr. Nelson. Hopefully he's currently healthy though. I would love to try to do the same thing -- I think I could subsist solely on bacon for that long, except my cholesterol is too high so I might not make it after Day 4.
