Just to be clear, bacon is a part of the Pledge to America.
To pledge eternal allegiance to America, above all other nations or religions, just consume ONE bacon (double) cheeseburger, while saying the Pledge of Allegiance (preferably videoed). All the "communion" needed to be a true american.
This act guarantees you trust among the most paranoid of americans.
You could use a veggieburger, but you still have to keep the bacon and the cheese, together, on the burger.

"I agree. On another note. Wasn't it a gew years back that Bacon Was good for you according to the experts? I don't listen to them because they waffle more than a politician."
Amen, brother.

Since everyone who has died of cancer has been known to drink water I therefor find that water causes cancer. The only thing that is safe to eat on this earth that has never caused cancer due to the fact that the test rats have never died from it is eating the damn test rats. I think you would be safe.

No way Abu the researchers are just idiots looking for research funding. Some of them may be Muslim, or Catholic or Jewish but they all want one thing...funding for research that most often proves wrong later on.
The thing that does is keep them from having to get a real job where they have to produce results that work.
This has nothing to with religion or national origin. Hell the study was probably paid for by the beef industry. Got to get a leg up on the competition is the motto these days.

I won't say that Abu, but it does raise an interesting premise. If bacon and ham cause bowel cancer by the research, then in the Muslim community, there must be ZERO instances of bowel cancer. If there are bowel cancers in the Muslim community, then:
A) They are not good Muslims.
B) The study is flawed.

I did a paper on this in college. The preservatives used in hot dogs, bacon and such: sodium nitrate and sodium nitrite, when combined with proteins and heated to temperatures above 250 F, form a class of compounds called nitrosoamines.
Some nitrosoamines cause cancer so reliably in laboratory animals at standardized dosages that they are used as controls in tests for other carcinogens, and to produce tumors for the sole purpose of testing cancer treatment drugs.
In other words, they are far more certain to produce cancer than smoking a pack of cigarettes every day for 40 years.
However, the standard dosage is equivalent to basing about half your caloric intake, every day, on meats with sodium nitrates/nitrites - and of course no such studies have been done on humans.
For what it is worth.

For breakfast every day, my grandfather ate bacon, eggs fried in the grease from the bacon, toast, and coffee. He died when he was 96. His bowels were just fine as far as I know. But I'm pretty sure he would have crapped on anybody that said bacon could kill you.

I eat bacon every day....I am "dead man walking". Though I was sick once about 15 years ago.

It's kind of like the study done that said cyclamates would kill you. No more than anything else from what I can see. They are still used in many countries. See wikipedia "Cyclamates and cancer".
This seems to be just one more "study" that works on animals with "standard doses" but has not been tested in the real world. The rush to publish and garner more research dollars seems to be irresistible to these people.
I notice they never make that much noise when they are found to be in error on the findings they so happily frightened people with with the premature ejaculation of those findings.

Up here in the great white north we have various sporting events other than hockey, though hockey is our passion. Hockey is a rough tough sport that breeds millionaires, not as sissy sport like football or basketball. Those sports are ok I guess if you like to see guys wearing satin and patting each other on the butt. I often wondered why these wimps take time off for such minor injuries like a broken bone. In hockey you get your teeth knocked out, pick them up, get back in the play, no wimps here. Hockey is not the sport I will tell you about today, I want to tell you about Pig Polo.

Pig Polo is not a big sport in Canada, it is a regional thing, mostly played by us good ole boys in the far north. We are inventive up here, we make the most of our available resources. Just ask my wife, she has a seal skin thong, a polar bear thong and a beaver skin thongâ;¦.don't go there, I know what you are thinking. We Canucks love our pigs and love our Canadian bacon as well, I guess you could call it a love hate relationship. Well in reality, it would be the pig, that would view it this way.

First let me tell you about Peg, my pet Peruvian peg legged pig. My uncle, who was a prospector, brought me Peg from Peru when she was a baby. She was a bundle of energy, skin so soft and pink, a great addition to our family. We went through some hard times together though. Work was not that steady over the past few years and Employment Insurance just wasn't enough to feed the family. Peg had to give a little of herself to support the family, thus the peg legs. Now don't fault me for this, I only took the back two. I replaced them with broken pool cues. Like I said before, we use what is available to us to make ends meet. When you have a legion with a pool table, there is always someone breaking a cue over someone's head. The rubber tips give Peg traction when the going gets icy. Pigs are not just the only area that we use available resources. Hockey sticks and frozen moose balls are used as well.

The sticks, are a no brainer, every home in Canada has them. The moose balls we get during the annual moose hunt. We cut them off, put them on the ice and freeze them solid, then we wrap them in duct tape to get the proper size and lookâ;¦ nice touch EH! Someday I will tell you about the Moose Rodeo,
that is a blast.

The game of Pig Polo is much the same as normal polo with a few changes. The uniforms are hand made from moose peltsâ;¦.a lot like the Fred Flintstone look.
The sticks and ball are as I described above. The players are not kings though, we can be called many things but never kings. Game day is always a day to remember, we start the day with the traditional Back Bacon breakfast, followed by a beer drinking contest, for the riders.â;¦..this makes the game interesting. By noon the riders are carried to their pig, well some of them areâ;¦.the ones that did well in the beer drinking. Once they have mounted their pig and duct taped in place, its game on. Peg and I have won three years in a row

I think having the weight reduction of having her legs removed adds to her speed. She appears to have better traction as well.
This year was another win for Peg and I, it was a great game, not that many injuries. A few teeth lost, one or two black eyesâ;¦.yes a good year. Looking forward to next year.

According to the latest official Govt research report (funded under the Conclusive Realistic Approach Project), it has been conclusively proven that 100% of people living will end up DYING due to LIVING. Govt ministers have approved a further multi billion dollar research grant to examine how the Govt can best address the issue of "Life Leading To Death"

Well, the health police are at it again. Maybe we should ban living. That might make them happy. Or, maybe we should ban them. I wonder who pays these idiots for coming up with this stupidity.
