Bacon is one of the most universally enjoyed foods… it’s been called the “gateway meat” for vegetarians (and it’s created quite a few ex-vegetarians). If you can’t resist bacon, then you’ll probably enjoy these links, too.

• Smucker’s has a Maple Bacon-flavored syrup to make breakfast even more bacon-y. It contains neither bacon nor maple syrup. Discuss. [url]
• Can bacon help you during the zombie apocalypse? Maybe not, but it’s still delicious. [url]
• Need another excuse to love bacon? As a bacon sandwich, it’s a hangover cure. Who funds this kind of research… the alcohol industry or the pork lobby? [url]
• If you want to prepare for the worldwide shortages of bacon next year, start slowly weaning yourself off the crispy-fatty goodness now. Just focus on bacon’s association with increased risk of heart disease and cancer while you experiment with Tempeh or Seitan recipes. [url]
