Those who love rib-eye steaks and double-cream Brie will feel better about their guilty pleasures after reading Nina Teicholz’s article in this weekend’s Wall Street Journal, “The Questionable Link Between Saturated Fat and Heart Disease.” She writes, for example:
Too much whole-grain oatmeal for breakfast and whole-grain pasta for dinner, with fruit snacks in between, add up to a less healthy diet than one of eggs and bacon, followed by fish.
Gary Taubes covered some of the same ground in his excellent 2008 book, Good Calories, Bad Calories: Fats, Carbs, and the Controversial Science of Diet and Health. Taubes argued that that consumption of saturated fat does not cause obesity and heart disease; the culprit, instead, is refined carbohydrates like white flour and sugar.

That is the exact moment to drizzle the strips with maple syrup and finish.
You guys are evil....lol
That’s—that’s magnificent. Gaaaah, now I have to go fry up some bacon.
That’s a fairly healthy, protein rich breakfast as long as you aren’t having second and third helping of the toast and potatoes.
Hopefully you aren’t having a couple of soft drinks later in the day and getting 20 to 50 grams of sugar depending on the size of drink. Those things are the single most common source of high doses of sugar for many folks.
Sounds great!
I had a boring ole Sunday roast......
My screen name is notted, i.e. not Ted.
It should be: Not Ted yet!, however, every screen name I selected was rejected (story of my life), but I digress.
Ted is the character in the Wright bacon commercial, who is being interviewed by a psychotherapist.
I must paraphrase because the actual transcript is some sort of trade secret.
Doc: So Ted, why do you want to be a bacon sandwich?
Ted: because everyone will love me.
Doc: hmm., I see.
Ted: He says wonderful things about how delicious Wrights bacon is, (and he is correct, my words BTW). And, how, if he eats Wright bacon, he will turn into a bacon sandwich, or something like that. Sorry, my memory is hazy, I am enjoying the other white meat; Beer.
Doc: Well Ted you’re not a bacon sandwich.
Ted: Not Yet!
Had beef yesterday. Bought a big round roast and chopped it into stew pot chunks in two ziplock bags. The thin cut the remaining chunk into strips which I quick fried. Mmmm good.
Bacon is full of nitrates, like all cured meats. They are not good for you.
I saw this earlier. Was going to post it on FB.
I detest soda——never liked it,never drank it,never bought it for my kids.
.
I’m having bacon sensory overload. I watched “The USA of Bacon” before the race today.
good grief
Just drove most of today for nine hours.
Breakfast tomorrow is an omelet all the way.
Lunch will be a BLT, heavy on the B.
Supper - can’t think that far ahead, I’m retired. But steak sounds good.
A good decision. And on the most important topic of this thread, I've always preferred sausage to bacon. Sausage and eggs for breakfast.
*ping* for later...this I have got to read!! ;)
