Two lovers separated by vegetarianism - bacon brought them together.

Quote
“You need the protein,” he said. “You’re going to feel so much better.”

She hesitated, but she could see how concerned he was. He knew her body was depleted, and he understood firsthand the mental and physical demands of being a dancer. She took the bacon.

“It seems silly now,” she said. “But it meant so much to me. As an athlete, you need so much protein, and I just wasn’t taking care of myself.” They married in 2011.

She persisted took the bacon.

Jesus, her mouth is HUGE.

She could eat an entire slab at once, not just thick cut rashers.

Have an Army buddy who is Jewish and he will even eat bacon.
There are five things, above all else, that make life worth living: a good relationship with God, a good woman, good health, good friends, and a good cigar.

Only two defining forces have ever offered to die for you, Jesus Christ and the American Soldier.  One died for your soul, the other for your freedom.

Bacon is the candy bar of meats!

Only the dead have seen the end of war!

I think you're mistaking bacon for a canned Vienna sausage.

America's hatred for sharia law? I thought it was workplace violence that we didn't like.

So when he reaches his goal weight of 99 pounds, would it be cruel and unusual punishment to put a plate of freshly-cooked crispy bacon inside his cell each morning?  So that his committment to sharia law has something to chew on, so to speak?
