Let's face it. When you go to Coca-Cola Park for an IronPigs game, many of us give in to the urge to, well, pig out.

And the team upped its game this season with the introduction of bacon scratch-and-sniff wear and official bacon caps, to go along with all of its porcine comestibles.

Who could resist?

Try the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine. The Washington-based nonprofit, which promotes vegan diets and alternatives to animal testing, thinks the IronPigs' going whole-hog on bacon is neither a fun marketing ploy nor an appropriate health choice. The science is strong that a diet high in red and processed meats increases the risk for colorectal cancer, it says.

Look at the source, they push vegan, so from the start it’s obvious that the ones whose health they are concerned with is the pigs.

It’s become The New American Way that there isn’t anyone, anywhere, having fun of any variety that isn’t grumbled at and opposed by some group of anal-retentive jerkoffs someplace.

bacon scratch-and-sniff wear

Ok, I know this question is, well, questionable; but do they make underwear? Might be a good product line for the young/single pups. Ooops, maybe “pups” was a poor choice of words. This would not be good for dog owners!

BTW, there is lots of evidence that abortions cause breast cancer. We don’t hear about that though.
