According to the new Arby’s commercial, Bacon is a gift pigs you when you’re good. I’m going to take Arby’s word over the WHO on this one. Something as savory and delicious as bacon is too good to pass up. If eating bacon is going to kill me, at least I’ll die happy, content and with a full stomach.

Um, who? We won’t get fooled again! Oh, not that who. Sounds like it’s time for a double bacon cheese burger. Medium.

Maybe they’re right. My dad was a lifetime bacon lover. He had several minor cancers when he died...at 95.

Yet weed gets a free pass because it gets you high, even though it has 20 times the carcinogens compared to a cig. I read that in one of the states, people are pushing to allow smoking weed in bars etc.

History repeats itself. Some day there will be one huge backlash. I have a feeling the entire western world will participate. And it just ain’t gonna be pretty.

I don’t need a scientific study to tell me that liberal policies are carcinogenic to every human being on the earth.

I read John Stossels book and learned something I had never heard anyone mention before.

When the government decides whether something is a carcinogen, they basically keep on pumping whatever input is being tested.....they keep pumping and pumping it until a tumor develops. Basically if you will see 10 parts per million of something in a year, and they pump 100 BILLION parts per million into an animal to get a tumor, they still call it a carcinogen even though most people will likely never see those levels in their lifetime.

The global warming scare campaign isn’t working too well for the left so now this is their next target. Something tells me we’ll all have fun with this one.

....and where are the "secondary smoke Nazis". The same people pushing pot were the ones condemning tobacco. Same damned thing, a burning leaf!
