LOL! I love bacon, and could eat it everyday, but I've got to watch my cholesterol, even though I take medication to control it. I had to cut out the home fries too. I was buying the packages of fresh (not frozen) shredded hash browns. I could get 3-4 servings out of a package. Melt the butter, throw in the potatoes, add chopped onions, Lawry's Seasoned Salt and Pepper, and brown on both sides. Yum, yum. Bad habit to get into, because I'm diabetic too, but so far only take oral meds for it.
Well, I come from that same school of “well, then can I do it til I need glasses?” Glad to see your taking preventative measures without throwing the bacon overboard. You don’t want to get caught like a sinking ship without ballast...save it until the lat trump.
“BIG FAT SURPRISE” By Tina Teicholz. Get the book, read it, and then consume bacon and possibly help your diabetes.
Short story = There is no evidence that shows dietary fat causes high cholesterol or heat disease.
