Stoic Bacon 6. Initiated

Image
MY LIFE WITH BACON  continues! February 26, 2013 was the date of my first post in this blog. Ten years ago this past February. Time flies! During that time I've reviewed lots of different bacons from around the country, visited numerous bacon-fests, gave a presentation at Zingerman's Camp Bacon, and reported on many crimes involving bacon. Bacon will continue to be the theme here, but with the addition of Health & Fitness , as well as  sprinklings of Stoic Philosophy throughout my posts. And of course, I will report on crimes involving bacon. TODAY'S CRIME STORY . This one is pretty dumb. A 'career' criminal (anyone with more than three or four convictions for theft qualifies) gets arrested for stealing 'multiple packs of bacon' is currently held on a $10,000 bond in the Wichita County Jail. If this were Chicago, San Francisco, or LA, I don't think she'd even be arrested. It's interesting how criminal behaviors are enforced and treated diffe...

Summer 2017: My Full Presentation from Camp Bacon!

Image
MY LIFE WITH BACON CONTINUES with the full presentation I gave at Zingerman's Camp Bacon. This is mostly self-explanatory, but I've added a little text to help you. If you want to invite me to a BaconFest to present this, I'm happy to do so! First, a photo of Debbie and I with Ari Weinzweig , founder of Zingerman's deli in Ann Arbor, with Jordan, one of Ari's co-workers. Scroll down for a really funny video of a crime involving bacon. Yes, my presentation was indeed about bacon-related crimes and incidents. Burned bacon is extremely unhealthy. Don't do it. There are a lot of chemicals in bacon, most are good for you. In fact, bacon is extremely low on the insulin index. Nitrates and nitrites are not bad (many studies have proven), but Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons are truly bad news. So don't overcook your bacon. Every hear of Di-Hydrogen Oxide?  But PAHs are truly bad. There is actually a parody site ab...

Bacon Crime still Happening

Image
MY LIFE WITH BACON continues after a VERY LONG HIATUS with a quick review of more crimes involving bacon . I'm not talking about the Bacon crime family (a family of people whose last name is "Bacon"), although that's a very interesting topic. I'm talking about crimes that have to do with the improper use of bacon. The only proper use of bacon is for eating! I've written a bunch of posts about bacon crimes, and even spoke at Zingerman's Camp Bacon ! (Here's an article about it , and here's my full presentation , which includes a fun video of a perpetrator throwing bacon at the cops, while calling them pigs.) Subscribers take note: the next post, and those going forward, will be different.  Different. McDonald's Cook Arrested: So here we go: a cook at McDonald's (one of my favorite Quick Serve Restaurants) decided to eat the bacon. Eat the bacon she cooked. All the time. Her manager had a small issue with that. Aside from the unsanitary n...
