My grandpa ate bacon every breakfast for as long as I knew him and I’m sure decades before. In fact he would even pour the drippings over his eggs and biscuits. He lived to 86...and to think he might have made it to 110 if it wasn’t for that accursed bacon!
My grand dad ate bacon, and pork fat sandwiches and died when he fell out of bed when he was 90 years old.
