\"bacon.jpg\"Is it possible to die of bacon poisoning<\/strong>? This isn\u2019t a question often asked. I may be the only person in the history of humankind to raise this query.<\/p>\n

I love bacon. I ran gleefully home when my local store starting carrying the plastic-wrapped, fat-streaked, heart attack-inducing meat product. I cooked the entire \u00bd pound package of pork goodness and ate it all in one large sandwich.<\/p>\n

Gluttony is a sin, but why one of the seven deadlies I\u2019ll never know. I had a Jewish coworker at summer camp that ate bacon like a hungry savage each time it was served. She knew it was her only opportunity to consume the smokey breakfast without religious stigma.<\/p>\n

I did find this gem on an article entitled: Stop poisoning your sex life: minimize your intake of five kinds of food, and your beefsteak will continue to sizzle well into your adulthood.<\/em><\/p>\n

1) Fatty meats: More bacon means less porkin’. Myth has it that gorging on red meat is manly, but fatty cuts of beef, bacon, sausage and full-fat luncheon meats can be wack for your wood. “Most men know that saturated fat and cholesterol narrow the arteries that nourish the heart and increase risk of heart attack,” Lieberman says. “But they also narrow the arteries that carry blood into the penis, which contributes to erectile dysfunction [ED].” These arteries, by the way, are some of the smallest and will be the first to jam up with plaque.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Perhaps I have evolved beyond the need for intimate contact with my wife. If we had children they would want to eat my bacon, leaving less greasy treats for me. How much is too much? Is it possible to OD on bacon, requiring medical intervention? Is bacon poisoning<\/strong> a possibility? I don\u2019t know. A quick search of Google pointed to some pages regarding traditional food poisoning, as well as illness induced by nitrates and a nasty host of bacon\u2019s chemical companions. I\u2019m too lazy to dig into the matter fully. I\u2019ll consider myself a case study. When I find myself in a Chinese ER, sweating pork fat, the truth will be known. Given the simple kitchen, I may have to learn to cook steak<\/a> instead.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
