      Was that around the time when they had bacon flavored everything and motherfuckers were getting bacon tattoos?

        The Bacon Tuxedo was from 2007, and when that happened I remember thinking “Ok, this bacon thing has gone too far.” The Beggin Strips “bacon bacon bacon… It’s Bacon!!” commercial first aired in 1989.

          I knew beggin’ strips were way before, but I remember a brief period where there were bacon mints, bacon soap, bacon soda, bacon candy, bacon tattoos…bacon everything. I want to say it wasn’t long after a whole bunch of folks were getting those mustache tattoos on their fingers but I’m getting older and my perception of time is warped.

    Oh sure, Everyone wants free love but the one time you pork pork, it’s suddenly wrong, what I and a consenting breakfast does in the bedroom or fridge is none of your business.

    I’ve heard there’s a seaweed that can be prepared to seem pretty close to bacon. I eat real bacon on occasion but I’d love to try the seaweed if I could ever find it.

    I’m not vegan but I think people are weird about bacon and pizza.

      Are you someone who likes sweet stuff more than savoury? I’m not into sweet stuff and don’t get the fuss about chocolate, but a nice savoury salty or spicy thing does it for me.

      I guess everyone has different tastes.

        no i like meat more than sweets but both bacon and pizza are overrated af. my taste is more middle eastern though, so lamb meat, kebab, hummus etc are more my kind of tastes.

        i didn’t wanna go much into detail about this on vegan comm but here we are.

          Haha I have similar tastes, love a kebab.

          Maybe those foods seem overrated because they are so accessible and easy to cook (few ingredients)? Easy things to start with if you’re learning to cook.

    As someone who is not vegan and does eat bacon on occasion, I approve this meme.

    I honestly think part of (but definitely not all of) the resistance against veganism is the perceived pushiness of it, similar to the pushiness some have around detesting anyone who eats meat. I’ve tried to be vegetarian several times and found that I personally don’t have the discipline to stick with it because of societal pressures and the difficulty in finding variety, but I know a lot of people that reject even that outright because of the “all or nothing” attitude that media and some groups/individuals presents around vegetarianism/veganism.

    Long story short, I’m proud of those who can do it, but I’m just not there yet. Maybe someday.
