I am bored stiff today. I just got a good laugh from an NPR story, though! They carried a story called "Bacon Gets Its Just Desserts", about mixing sweets with bacon. Some of the responses were precious:"How awful, sounds disgusting.""Chocolate and bacon should not be in the same zip code as each other.""because you people aren't fat enough already""Why do people insist on adding meat to fricking everything?""As a pescetarian, when I go out to eat, I have to look suspiciously at cooked vegetables, salad, and now dessert.""I'd rather staple my tongue to Rush Limbaugh's armpit."I just had to respond to this..."Yes, swine farming is disgusting. I should know; I'm from Texas, and I had to take my runs at one time past a smelly pig farm. Also, I almost ran over a big black boar-hog in my T-Bird one night, and still bear a grudge against him to this day. All the same...I wonder if there would be much of a market for bacon-flavored soda water?""Tori Amos is a pescetarian. Good enough for me!""A million hogs produce almost a million tons of excrement per year. On some farms, they stack cages, and the hogs on the lower layers eat what comes down from the top. In fairness, the farmers rotate the hogs' hierarchy so the top-most get their share of the goody, too."I'm actually still laughing sporadically...but it's a serious topic. Meat farming is filthy, cruel, and wasteful.
