Screw those researchers. Bacon makes me happy.
PHILADELPHIA (CBS) – Processed meats like bacon and hot dogs are bad for your mental health, say researchers.
According to researchers at Johns Hopkins, people who eat meats cured with nitrates are three times more likely to experience a manic episode.
Apparently, added nitrates are associated with hyperactivity and insomnia.
Researchers said experiments in rats showed mania-like hyperactivity after just a few weeks on diets with added nitrates.
They say this new study adds to evidence that certain diets and potentially the amounts and types of bacteria in the gut may contribute to mania and other disorders that affect the brain.
Researchers in Nebraska have found that believing in communism leads to manic episodes. Currently large numbers of communists across the country can be found crying in anguish as their world view crumbles before their very eyes. The researchers say that the effects of marxism are apparently 100 times more potent in the production of manic episodes than any food know to man. The only know cure for marxism is the consumption of large quantities of real bacon from real pigs that have been cured with real salt. Nothing else has been found to be effective against the debilitating brain disease.
Nitrate free bacon is available at most stores. It’s the only kind I buy. Life without bacon is no life at all.
Nitrate free bacon is not bacon. Let’s let HSF weigh in on this one.
MC- Indentured has the scoop on where to buy the best bacon.
Fuck this. I haven’t reach my age by avoiding bacon. I do a Sunday Times crossword puzzle every morning and gulp down Bacon bits for a snack.
The only way I would stop eating bacon is if researchers found it makes you a Hillary-voting liberal. Until that day comes, I’ll be enjoying bacon.
Another article on a subject that matters naught, assuming we will all shortly be fighting for our respective lives as civilization crumbles around our ears. I’m vegetarian(for the last fifteen years), but I would happily chow down on the subject BLT if I thought it would help me get past the smell of gunpowder and blood when the grand party makes its debut.
When you put up those crocks of salt pork down in the basement, don’t forget the booze. You might get by without the pork, but you will really need the alcohol.
Bacon done on the gas grill. Some might say it messes up the grill but I say it seasons the grill for whatever gets cooked next. Fires are common, so don’t leave your post for longer than it takes to retrieve another beer from the frig. Garden tomatoes are close at hand so make yourself the best BLT ever.

LGBT: I got three outta four cuz I don’t particularly like liquor. I’m asking for extra credit though, seein’ as how I think I like my bacon even more than all youse at TBP.
See, I grow my own bacon. Just got TEN more piglets last week cuz i was runnin’ low. I grind all the lesser cuts of my pork into sausage. Breakfast sausage, Italian sausage, country sausage, Brats, etc. Almost as good as bacon. Almost.
If you have any extra Italian Sausage, please send it my way! I love it on a Hot Dog Bun with Bar-Be-Que Sauce, strips of cheese, and Sweet Pickles.
Dirt – chief TBP bacon lover is SSS. You are hereby granted second place, which is a very good performance. But SSS rules all things bacon around here.
“Researchers said experiments in RATS showed mania-like hyperactivity after just a few weeks on diets with added nitrates.” ——– article
TBPers don’t have to worry. According to the quote above it only affects Libtards and Democrats.
According to Uniparty theory, we are all Libtards Gone Bonkers because Trump (LGBT) now.
Applying conclusions from study on rats to the general humanoid population is not very sciencey.
Everything is bad for you according to our high priest in the academy .
Meatball ,only cure for these people who have given themselves over to Marxism is a bullet through the head.
People do not give themselves over to communism anymore than they give themselves over to Trumpism. Is this truckers academy even accredited?
You need to give your Bad Attitude over to Jesus.
What bad attitude, amigo? Maybe my jests don’t go over well with sourpusses but I love them, I think I’m hilarious.
I don’t trust anything in psychiatry, which is a voodoo pseudoscience invented to sell drugs.
From the linked research article: “…may contribute to mania, an abnormal mood state. Mania is characterized by hyperactivity, euphoria and insomnia.” WTF? This is not exactly a crystal-clear definition of anything, really. So the rats made a few more loops on the hamster wheel than normal, and that is evidence that bacon causes a psychiatric condition?
Every time you eat bacon think about the people of the two religions who tell their adherents not to eat pork.
I get a warm and fuzzy feeling when I do, and a sip of corn whiskey makes me feel even warmer about the one religion that says that it is also evil to drink alcohol.
If you love bacon please check out the YouTube channel “Epic Meal Time”.
I wonder if this is bad for mental health.
I submitted two posts about 8 hours ago. Still “pending”. That’s never happened before.
This worries me. Perhaps we should keep Admin and his family in our thoughts and/or prayers.
Always do. Same as I do for you and yours. We spat, but the respect I have for Admin, you, SSS, Muck, EC, etc., and apologies to all not specifically mentioned, remains constant.
I love everybody but I do as I please.
I was participating in a team building exercise all day that involved alcohol. So Solly.
Exhibit A as to how the drunken Irish stereotype originated. Drunken Injuns are rank amateurs compared to the Irish.
“I was participating in a team building exercise all day that involved alcohol. So Solly.”
Team building exercise?? Had I known that, I would have been on my knees all day!! lol
I’ve participated in 2 or 3 of those. It actually was fun …. but it basically changed no one. Nice people continued to be nice, and dicks remained dicks.
Anyway, I really was concerned and I’m glad you’re A-OK.
It was actually just a day out for my budget team as a reward for all their hard work during the budget season. Just five of us going to lunch on South Street, having some beers, and then going to studio where we painted and drank more beer. It was a fun afternoon.
