It's gone too far

As a society we love nothing more than building a person up, just to tear them down. And in the case of bacon, this delicious salted and cured pork product is no different than our politicians and sports heroes.

Don't get me wrong, I love bacon just as much as the next guy. Just not as much as that guy.

The pendulum seems to have swung the other way for everyone's favorite cured pork pork. Where bacon was once the realm of breakfast-for-dinner folk and roadtrippin' fan boys its gone high brow of late. I remember a time not too long ago when bacon was indulgent not refined.

And its not just me who's witnessed bacon's slow demise. Essentially what it boils down to as that bacon was never meant to be a fad food. Somewhere along the line bacon went from being delicious to being, please pardon the expression, just another flavor of the month. Maybe it was the bacon donut, maybe it was the bacon vodka, maybe it was the bacon chocolate. But in all likelihood it was the organic bacon coffee.

All this bacon talk is making me hungry. I think I'm going for brunch and have some sausage.
