Bacon Freak Blog

That’s it… I’m turning in my cell phone (that is so low rent it only makes phone calls and sends texts – ghetto!) and getting myself a shiny, new grill.  Ahem… I mean… Um…  Actually I don’t know what I mean.

The people at G-Monkey took it upon themselves to create an “app” for the iPhone and iPod Touch for all of us bacon fanatics out there.  At first upon hearing this news, I was terribly giddy.  Then I watched their YouTube video about the app and thought, “Well now that I’ve seen it, WHY do I need it?”

Biggest bummer about the app:  NO REAL BACON.  After suffering through the delicious soundscape of pops, sizzles and crackles as the porky goodness bubbles on a stove-top grill, there are no rewards.  Not even a grease burn on our hand to show our spoils of war!  People, this app is a classic example of what I like to call a “bacon tease.”  HMPH!

Bacon isn't just about good taste, It's about smart choices as well!

Pregnant?  Screw the pickle cravings and reach for the pork! (That’s what she said!)

According to some very smart scientists at the University of North Carolina, eating a breakfast made up of bacon and eggs will NOT get you a firm scolding from your doctor, but rather a standing ovation. (This will only if he’s a fun doctor, otherwise, you may just get a non-plussed nod.).

The results of the UNC study maintain that a chemical in pork products can actually be pro-active in the development of an unborn baby’s brain.

The hero of the hour is a micronutrient called “choline” which can also be found in foods such as beef liver (gross), cauliflower (totally disgusting) and tofu (blasphemy!).
