Promoting biking and bacon together is like promoting biking and cigarettes
together, at least as far as human health is concerned. This chart from the
Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine shows why "Meat Is The New
Tobacco". http://www.pcrm.org/pdfs/health/meat_new_tobacco_chart.pdf
But as far as the environment is concerned, bacon is much worse than
cigarettes. This four-minute video gives some details about that
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ep3owo8XLAU&feature=share
And for cruelty, there's no comparison between bacon and cigarettes. Bacon
wins hands down. Many of the scenes in this 3.75 minute video are standard
industry practices (e.g. cutting off their testicles with no anesthesia,
head-slamming piglets against concrete floors to kill them) in operations large
and small, organic and conventional; and in those operations that label their
products "humane" and those that don't.)

Biking promotes human health and a sustainable environment. Bacon

Planet Bike’s 8th Annual Bacon on the Bike Path
Downtown Commuter Station | 7:00-10:00am
Nothing smells like Bike to Work Week quite like the legendary Bacon on the
Bike Path! Planet Bike has been sizzlin’ it up for cyclists since 2007 and
their 8th annual celebration of cycling is not to be missed.
On Thursday morning May 15 from 7-10am, the smells of frying bacon and
fresh-brewed coffee will be wafting along the shores of Lake Monona on the bike
path between the Monona Terrace and Broom Street. All cyclists are invited to
stop and fuel up on their morning commute.
Planet Bike will be serving up breakfast treats (fruit, donuts, juice, Just
Coffee and Nueske’s bacon). There will also be bike tech support provided by
Budget Bike and Machinery Row.
This is a free event and is a part of the Wisconsin Bike Federation’s week-long
Bike to Work Week festivities.
