How to kill yourself with bacon!

[Warrior 4 Jesus]

I've heard of Chicken Salt but I think some you are making stuff up now.

[MBlight]

I'm so hungry right now...

[Nate]

Wow, I didn't realize we had so many EIGHT YEAR OLD GIRLS on CAA.

Seriously, has the Health Fairy come and taken all your testosterone away? Given you fear and paranoia in exchange for being a MAN?

I mean for the love of God, people, yes. Eating this every day for three meals a day is not healthy. DUH. Eating nothing but tofu every day for three meals a day isn't healthy EITHER but I don't hear any of you whining about tofu being evil and horrible.

Eating ONE of these once a month or so isn't going to give you an immediate heart attack. Seriously. Lrn2health noobs.

Ahh, America. You really suck sometimes.

BECAUSE NO OTHER COUNTRY BUT AMERICA MAKES UNHEALTHY FOOD AMIRITE?

Truth or consequence, say it aloud
Use that evidence, race it around There goes my hero
Watch him as he goes
There goes my hero
He's ordinary Don't the best of them bleed it out
While the rest of them peter out
Truth or consequence, say it aloud
Use that evidence, race it around There goes my hero
Watch him as he goes

Ha, ha. Hilarious. You tell 'em Nate!

[Maledicte]

Lol. I'd probably eat about half, if the sodium didn't get to me. XD

I agree with Minakichan though, there should be a sausage in it.

Way to take my statement out of context, commit a textbook straw-man fallacy, and distort my words beyond recognition, Nate. I salute you. You must have been the pride of your school's debate team.

And for the record, eating just one of these things is unhealthy. Compared to habitual unhealthy choices, it is relatively small in scale, but not unhealthy. /pedantry

All I said was to eat omega-3s after taking in the large amount of omega-6s. That's all.

And yes, Bacon Salt is real.

I own all of you.

[Warrior 4 Jesus]

Bacon Salt?
That's so sad, it's awesome.

No, we can't get that one in Australia.

SERIOUS BACON-RELATED ARGUMENT.

[Warrior 4 Jesus]

Someone's taking home the bacon.

[Whitefang]

Bacon Salt -Dogs...I mean humans don't know it's not bacon!

[Cognitive Gear]

That looks delicious.

It'd make a good side dish for the hamdog.

[ich1990]

They totally forgot to deep-fry it.

[Nate]

Way to take my statement out of context,

Out of context? How so? "This came from the U.S., didn't it? Ahh, America. You really suck sometimes." The context is perfectly clear. "Oh, someone has invented an unhealthy food! Clearly, it MUST be America, because Korea or Africa or Germany would never create such a thing!"

It's the same as if I was talking about that Nintendo DS game where you touch girls with the stylus to see if they're witches and went, "This came from Japan, didn't it? Ahh, Japan. You really suck sometimes." STEREOTYPE. Japan = perverts so obviously any perverted game MUST be made by them! America = fat slobs so obviously any unhealthy food MUST be made by them!

commit a textbook straw-man fallacy,

A textbook straw-man fallacy you say? When did I set up a statement that superficially resembles it? Your position was pretty clear. Did you for a second think "Hmm, I wonder if a Japanese person made this" or "Wow, I wonder if a guy in Greece did this?" Nope, you jumped STRAIGHT on America. I wonder why? Because obviously you feel America has more unhealthy food than any other country, which isn't true, but hey, why let facts stop you?

and distort my words beyond recognition, Nate.

BECAUSE DIRECTLY QUOTING YOUR POST IS TOTALLY DISTORTING YOUR WORDS AMIRITE?

And for the record, eating just one of these things is unhealthy.

I never said eating this was totally healthy. I just said eating one isn't going to give you an immediate heart attack. I'm talking about posts like,

As much as a like bacon and cheese, I like my heart being in working order moreso.

as if eating just one was suddenly going to make their heart go "OH GOD I AM GOING TO STOP WORKING RIGHT NOW." If you normally watch your sodium and cholesterol, exercise regularly, and try to eat a balanced diet, eating one of these things will NOT kill you, make you sick, give you clogged arteries, or make your heart shrivel up and die.

It's just like alcohol. It's so much easier to just say "Alcohol is bad, don't drink it!" instead of saying "Well, drink in moderation, and never get drunk." Instill fear in them, yep, that's the way to do it. Let's all live in fear, everyone! That's the 21st century way!

[Tsukuyomi]

So many things to try out O_O I had no idea there was such a thing as bacon salt 8D So many wonderous things in the world 8D

[smartyetstupud]

That looks really tasty. *drools* I think I'm gonna make one over christmas break. ^^ And really... c'mon everyone, we know bacon is good for the soul.

This sandwich though... made my heart slow down when I ate it... =/

Awww, first linky no worky >8(

Bacon Butter \o.o/

[goldenspines]

Coming in a bit late, but meh, whatever. :p

I'd probably have one little slice of that weaved bacon wrap thing.
Just enough to try it, but not enough to kill me.

The bacon salt, mayo, and spray may be a bit much though. XD

I'd rather stick to frying up a few pieces of bacon every once in a while to go with my eggs for breakfast.

Two things that are probably unhealthy for me:
1) The food item in the opening post.
2) The second page of this thread.

Nate, it doesn't sound like he is trying to instill fear in anyway, just health conscious which there is nothing wrong with that.

It sounded to me that they are just concerned about their health,not in the form of whining. you never know, some of the other members could have Hypertension,, I know I did for a while. ,

[minakichan]

I for one know that this bacon cheese weave would be extremely unhealthy for me.

If I tried to shove it up my butt.

[Warrior 4 Jesus]

That was a bit too much information.

OR, being an American myself and seeing the quandary of ridiculous junk food we churn out and the number of deep-fried things we've come up with (Oreos, Twinkies, etc.) it seemed likely from my experience (since I don't research every country's junk-food output) that it would be from America. Any country could have come up with it, but America seemed likely from my experience being an American. My statement "Ahh, America. You really suck sometimes" is meant to transcend the scope of this thread to refer to multiple junk-food-related embarrassments (deep-fried Oreos, anyone?) - thus the plural "sometimes".

A textbook straw-man fallacy you say? When did I set up a statement that superficially resembles it? Your position was pretty clear. Did you for a second think "Hmm, I wonder if a Japanese person made this" or "Wow, I wonder if a guy in Greece did this?" Nope, you jumped STRAIGHT on America. I wonder why? Because obviously you feel America has more unhealthy food than any other country, which isn't true, but hey, why let facts stop you?

I know you like to pretend you have ESP, but you actually don't know what I'm thinking. In fact, I DID wonder where it came from, thus the statement, "This came from America, didn't it?" Again, from my experience as an American, I considered my home country a likely source for such a culinary monstrosity. And, for the record, here's your straw-man.

BECAUSE NO OTHER COUNTRY BUT AMERICA MAKES UNHEALTHY FOOD AMIRITE?

I never said nor do I believe that only America makes unhealthy food. However, and I will say it again, my experience living for a couple decades in America has convinced me that when something like a rolled-up woven bacon mat with cheese comes along, the U.S. is a likely source. Yet, since you seem to enjoy making fun of people, you distorted my views beyond reality in order to have something to lampoon. Ergo, textbook straw-man.

Get over yourself, Nate.

[Fish and Chips]

This is now my favorite thread.

[Mr. SmartyPants]

I believe that it's not just America's food, but also the living habits of us which makes us the fattest nation ever.

You really suck sometimes" is meant to transcend the scope of this thread to refer to multiple junk-food-related embarrassments (deep-fried Oreos, anyone?) - thus the plural "sometimes".

I'd like to point out that the terms "ridiculous" and "embarrassments" may sound nice, but are based on personal opinion. I think tofu is an embarrassment to food, but some people actually like tofu. I think soy milk is garbage, but some people love the stuff...and by the way, consuming large amounts of soy has shown a correlation to brain loss, i.e. eating soy makes you dumber (note that more studies have to be done, and this is merely correlation, not causation, but given how paranoid people are about correlations these days in regards to food, it's pretty significant).

By the way, Japan invented the Mega Mac (a Big Mac with four beef patties instead of two), and let's not forget how much the Swiss and the Germans love their chocolate...also let's not forget Germany's love with bratwurst and other greasy sausages. The UK also has fast food and junk food galore but I don't see them having as many weight problems. Gee, I wonder if America's weight and health problems could be caused by something OTHER than food?

but also the living habits of us which makes us the fattest nation ever.

Ryan nailed it.

I'd also like to point out that as far as I know Japan is the only nation where you can order a food that WILL immediately kill you, fugu (blowfish).

It sounded to me that they are just concerned about their health,not in the form of whining. you never know, some of the other members could have Hypertension,, I know I did for a while.

Again, there is a difference between being concerned and being paranoid. "Hmm, I wouldn't want to eat those every day" is being concerned. "I don't want to suffer a heart attack so I'd never touch one!" is being paranoid.

As far as hypertension, that's a valid point, but as a counter I'd like to point out many people have allergies to shellfish and peanuts that can kill them but I'm sure they don't go around and say "OH GOOD LORD PEANUTS ARE UNHEALTHY AND HORRIBLE!" Again, paranoia.

Get over yourself, Nate.

It seems funny that someone would say that to a person who considers himself a complete failure at life, has no redeeming qualities, no talents of note, currently lives with his mom working a minimum wage job with no college degree, and considers himself to rank only slightly higher than a sack of doorknobs on the intelligence scale. Clearly, these beliefs show I consider myself a god among men.

And have you really eaten deep-fried oreos? Because to me they are not embarrassing, maybe delicious and unhealthy, but not embarrassing.
