13 Reasons To Eat That Bacon

#1 Show Me The Bacon! Nom. Nom. Nom.

Remember when all you could get was bacon and eggs? Bacon was first invented when humans decided to add something amazing to their breakfast. That was a beautiful time, but things have changed. They say everything we love is bad for you, but here are some reasons why you need to EAT THAT BACON!

#2 Bacon Provides Protein.

The protein in bacon is better than those shakes or energy bars because it contains no sugars or artificial sweeteners. Take this girl for example. She just ate a crap load of bacon. Look at her. You can tell. It's that exciting you can get something so important from something that tastes so good. The protein the universe hides in bacon helps you sustain high energy levels throughout the day.

#3 Bacon Provides Bodily Balance.

Hey, apparently, bacon, when consumed in moderate proportions (not like a million pounds a day) helps the body lower your blood pressure AND your blood sugar levels AND it also prevents or lessens the effects of diabetes, heart disease, stroke and heart attack. Who knew that frying a pig in grease could be so beneficial. We all need bodily balance or we'd tip over, right?

#4 The New Fat Fighter: Bacon!

It's not really made from fat, because of the higher protein levels and no carbs. Think of bacon as a clean-burning fuel. It helps you lose weight, raises your metabolism and aides in building leaner, stronger muscles. Like this guy. He eats bacon. Those are bacon abs. Really!

#5 Bacon Boosts Your Brain Capacity!

Bacon contains tons of a chemical known as choline. Scientists call it a nutrient and apparently bacon is crazy full of it, which is good because studies show it helps increase memory and intelligence. Choline also helps fight Alzheimer's and other chronic mental impairments. So as it goes, stupid people must not eat enough bacon. Einstein really ate a shit load of bacon!

#6 Bacon Is Chock Full Of Essential Vitamins & Minerals.

You get a lot of empty carbs chowing down on chips, candy and sodas. They contain about ZERO nutritional value. On the other had... yes, you guess it, BACON has more than the daily required vitamins and minerals required for you to start your day off.

#7 Bacon Makes You HAPPY!

Although there's no scientific proof that bacon makes you happy, we're here to ask you: have you ever been sad eating bacon? Has bacon ever made your meal or your day worse? Look at this sad girl. She got loony crazy after eating a slice of bacon. Now she is so happy she can't stop. It elevates your mood, relieves stress, frustration and sadness.

#8 Bacon and Nitrates Are Not An Issue!

Health nuts say that bacon is full of nitrates. We don't need to get into a whole chemical dissertation on what nitrates are but the bottom line is when you burn or char bacon, it produces nitrates, and nitrates are bad. The way around this is simple. Don't overcook or char your bacon. Cook it in the oven, or on a pan. No-trates. Better yet, microwave that shit!

#9 Bacon Fat Can Be Used As Fuel.

According to news, a company in the United Kingdom of Britainland, TMI Foods, recently discovered a way to convert bacon fat (and grease) into efficient, low-emission, environmentally-friendly, all-natural bio-diesel. It's inexpensive and can be used in practically any diesel engine. They just need a lot of grease to get started.. so do your part and start cooking!

#10 Everything Is Better With Bacon!

What was once a chocolate chip cookie, is now a chocolate chip cookie with chopped bacon. If that doesn't sound amazing to you, why are you even reading this? Bacon is making it's way into every cookbook recipe now days. If it doesn't have bacon, why are you making it?

#11 When We Said EVERYTHING Is Going Bacon, We Meant EVERYTHING!

We know that adding bacon to cookies, donuts, waffles, water, anything, it always makes it better. And it doesn't just have to be sweets. Bacon-wrapped peppers, bacon on salad, bacon on your mom, bacon anywhere and it'll be better. And this falls under the mood-elevation category. Have you tried Bacon Soda? Me either, but it's real, and if you really love bacon, you might enjoy a cold bottle of this stuff!

#12 Bacon Is Heart Healthy (No, Really!)

People who didn't know what they were talking about used to say that bacon was a leading contributor to heart disease. That's stupid. The truth is bacon is full of Omega-3 fatty acids and choline (remember choline?) which are known to defend the heart against disease. Omega-3's also lower cholesterol, reduce inflammation and improve circulation. Sorry. It's true. Bacon is heart-healthy.

#13 And Finally...

In a recent study, published in the Harvard Medical Review, it was shown that bacon is awesome. Nuff said!
