Can bacon be considered a necessary evil? Am I too simple to be in this group? I love bacon but I avoid it whenever I am able. But let me tell you, bacon adds flavor to certain things like nobody's business. Is it nobody's business? I don't know. I think it should be a personal choice. Is it basically bad for you? I think it probably is. Certainly not something you want to eat everyday if your goal is a really long life. Are there exceptions to that? Probably Do I want to live a really long life? Not really. But ask me when I am really close to the end. I might want to extend it. Can't promise, but maybe. If you told me it was the bacon, I might have to accept it. It sure was good.
Is the goal of life to live long? Like 90 something? It doesn't look that great to me, but being that life is the only game in town, it might be good enough. What if you sacrificed every single really good tasting, good feeling thing in life just to live to 90? Was it worth it? I don't think so.
