Just one day of eating a fat-laden breakfast sandwich of processed cheese and meat on a bun – and ‘your blood vessels become unhappy,’ says Heart and Stroke Foundation researcher Doctor Todd Anderson who is head of cardiac science at the University of Calgary in Canada.
Your blood vessels become unhappy. The head of cardiac science can now diagnose you with sad arteries and miserable veins if you have a bacon roll. That’s what passes for medical science now.
So, next time you visit the doctor, don’t expect to have time to discuss why you’re there. Once he’s gone through the questions on smoking, drinking, bacon consumption and all the rest of the ridiculous nonsense we all pay taxes to fund, you will run out of your allotted time and be diagnosed with a weeping pancreas or a dejected spleen. The worst cases will be due to a suicidal kidney or a mortally offended thyroid.
I refer you to the quote in the previous post. As long as those smoking controls keep getting harsher and harsher, none of the rest of it will ever stop. Ever. That is the foundation for all of it and everyone who accepts that control has to accept all the rest. Support the smoking ban and you must support it all.
So I’m going to stock up on bacon too. I’ll need another freezer.
It’ll be smoked bacon, of course, to keep the antis from wanting any.
bacon wrapped cigarettes!
[would it be possible to smoke it after it's been deep fried???]
got me drooling already
my grandparents taught me a few things
“you are what you eat”
“healthy body healthy mind” etc etc
but also “a little bit of what you fancy does you good”
meaning even if you eat a totally healthy diet your body gets into a rut & needs a kick up the arse every now & again
eat on mcduff
There is a roast-chicken Electrofag flavouring that really does taste like roast chicken. I’ll have to see if they’ve invented a bacon one yet.
“Eating burgers every day will lead to a heart attack” so says the medical profession and that American tw*t who did just that for 30 days, or so. However, what happoens if you eat foi gras followed by turbot francaise and then a rich sauce with your rare steak ending up with a double Creme d’Anglais? Try that for 30 days and if you are still alive, you’ll be able to tell Morgan Spurlock he’s a shallow, tunnel-visioned, pillock. Eat what you want, as long as its varied, is the law and the whole of the law.
It all depends on what you do. The stockroom people where I work are shifting big trolley loads of stuff all day and lifting boxes onto high shelves. They’d burn a hell of a lot of calories per shift. Those in the cash office don’t burn so much at work. So a daily burger wouldn’t affect a stockroom worker but would gradually fatten a cash office clerk.
According to the Paleo People it’s the BREAD not the bacon… I’m giving it a try – no wheat/grains and loads of bacon
I feel good after the first month. Interestingly continuing to smoke does not seem to affect the feeling good 
I’m also getting suspicious of grains, especially wheat. Partly because I used to work with someone who worked on wheat allergens. I’ve cut back on bread and pasta and most cereals and I find my guts are far more stable these days. I don’t think it’s the wheat as such, but it’s in so many foods that maybe I was just getting overloaded with it. The same goes for lactose, it’s added to an awful lot of things and even used in the coating on pre-cooked roast chicken to give that appealing colour. So rather than ‘lactose intolerance’, we might just be seeing ‘lactose overload’.
Cheap ingredients get used as a filler, and since every company is trying to save money they all use the same cheap stuff. Individually these products do no harm, but buy them all together and you’re getting a hell of a lot of that ingredient.
Some people have the constitution to cope with it, but as we get older it starts to hurt a bit, causing bloating and gas mostly. Not likely to be fatal and easily controlled without any kind of medication. The Pharmers hate that.
The only problem we have had (because my wife is trying it too,) is that suddenly 80-90% of supermarket food is off-limits. It becomes apparent very quickly, once you start reading the ingredients labels that we are being fed a complete load of crap. My biggest shock was my beloved Chicken Oxo cubes. Because Oxo cubes have been around for ever I made the stupid assumption they were OK – wrong! very wrong!!
The other problem is that it can get expensive if you are not really careful especially trying to buy organic. Even though I could afford it (at the moment) I can’t justify £20 for a Medium Chicken! Even if we do use it all by making our own chicken stock now.
Working with pigs soon puts you off cereals as any sort of weight loss option. Cereals are what pigs get fed to fatten them up. Forget the sugar on those breakfast cereals – they are already so laden with starch that a bit of sugar makes no difference!
Organic isn’t as great as it’s made out to be. I go for free-range for chickens and eggs because I don’t personally like battery farming, but I don’t go as far as organic because the premium price isn’t worth it for me.
I’ve written here before on giving up wheat, because it was giving me indigestion. I’ve been off the stuff for over a year with an initial strict period followed by a more relaxed phase where I discovered that a sausage – containing rusk – or a scotch egg with breadcrumbs was not going to trigger an episode.
One thing I did not expect was the absolute misery of the first couple of weeks. I felt tired, cold, and generally down in the dumps. It wasn’t lack of carbs in general as I was still eating rice, corn, oats etc.
After two weeks the problem cleared up and I’ve still got the half used box of Rennies that I was using at the time. So far it seems like a good move although the loss of a lunchtime sandwich choice is always a bit tricky. Mostly I stick to fish, eggs, and of course bacon.
I didn’t cut out wheat entirely at any stage, I just cut back severely. Made a hell of a difference. You do realise that those symptoms mean you are a wheat addict, don’t you? They are really no different to those experienced by people stopping smoking. Wheat, now as addictive as cocaine…
