By signing this petition, you are resolving:

- as an individual, to cease reinforcing, either by word, deed, gratuitous thought, or other social media, the tired and undeserved Internet fetish for bacon.
- to advance the merits of other foods when the subject of bacon comes up.
- if you are one of the people who does this sort of thing, to craft and circulate online goofy pictures and animations celebrating foods other than bacon.
- to, if you own any bacon-themed merchandise that arose from this fad, get rid of it, edit the bacon out somehow, or restrict it to house-wear.
- to tease apart in your own mind the degree to which you, the individual, actually like bacon, as opposed to the degree you're just jumping on a bandwagon.
- to try being a generally more adventurous eater (medical issues, finances, and opportunities permitting). If there's certain things you just refuse to eat even once, that's okay - but never turn something away solely on the grounds that it's strange.
- to err on the side of eggs, ham, and/or sausages on those occasions you go to IHOP or Denny's or McDonald's for breakfast or whatever.
- if you haven't already, to spend just a little frigging bit of time reflecting on the very real costs of factory farming, environmental degradation, foolish resource management, and other global maladies connected to excessive demand for large livestock meat on the part of the developed world (as well as the United States). Even if there's nothing much you can do beyond that, would it kill you to acknowledge these sorts of issues are actually really, really important? Sheesh.
- NOT to cease eating bacon if you really like it - bacon is perfectly alright, but the point is that that's really about it.

Nope.


I'm not particularly keen on bacon.

Got bacon on the last cheeseburger I bought.

Honestly, it ruined the burger.

Boil your fat-free bacon in water until it firms and then apply maple syrup to the BLT (Bacon, Lettuce, Tomato sandwich).

I'm not a huge bacon fan either. I don't dislike it, I just prefer sausage or ham as my breakfast meat.

I had an amazing burger with bacon on it a couple weeks ago, but I think the fried egg contributed more to its deliciousness than the bacon did.

No.

sacrilege! May the Porcine Lords smack you with their Bellies of Tasty Goodness while poking you with a smoking hickory stick!


Kiełbasa forever!

(or until change of mood, taste or health conditions)

That reminds me....I haven't had any bacon yet today.

Welcome to my world...


Never been a big fan of bacon. It's okay as an ingredient here and there. I like it on those chicken sandwiches from Carl's Jr. Otherwise, highly, highly overrated. Pretty much tastes like crispy salt, neither of which is a texture or a taste that is difficult to find elsewhere nor is unique to bacon.

Throw in a clause that states that everybody who once i-worshiped Chuck Norris must admit he has reduced himself to a powerless nutjob and never was near as awesome as Bruce Lee in the first place, and I might even send you money for your cause.


I had linguica today, bacon's spicy sausagey swarthy second cousin.

I would have had bacon, but I'm a snob and Sysco bacon is a blasphemy unto itself.

I like Kabanos, dried or fresh. It's the caraway seeds that do it.

Ohhh Polish Diaspora, thankyou for widening our sausage horizons.

Silver Crusade

Damn it. Now I want kielbasa.

And bacon. That, too.


Try plate of meats, with various kinds of meats (damn, English doesn't have a word equivalent to Polish "wędlina" - whole subcategory of meats that are cured, salted, seasoned or otherwise prepared to be served cold or hot, fried, added to salads or sandwiches... Like sausage, bacon, hams, and other forms of meat that lack their own names in English too...).

Alas, I am surrounded by barbarians who also think that horse is a pet or form of transportation.
