Go to any restaurant and you're bound to see tables puffing away. And if there's anything the goverment should be warning about, it's those (but they never will).<BR/><BR/>Secondly: it's pretty funny to me that people would get mad that the government would tell them what to eat or not eat... considering that they have no problem that the government tells them to do so many other things.

It tends to be less salty and have more meat flavor than the regular bacon you get at the grocery store. It is very meaty, chewy and is like the stuff I grew up eating from my grandparents' farm. <BR/><BR/>Yeah, road trips suck if you refuse to eat fast food. Been there, been doing it for years. It isn't easy. I am weird about bacon.

My refusal to eat fast food makes it hard on me during roadtrips and the like. My parents can't stand it, especially when I complain as they eat Subway. :P<BR/><BR/>Bacon? Am I the only one who finds bacon too strong and salty? Heh, “Mc” and “i” can be applied to anything as a prefix, it seems.

Hell, everything else gets blamed on women's hormones, why not that? ;-)<BR/><BR/>But really, I like the McSmack theory best. BigSmack!

Heeheehee.
