    Important new study: Bacon Is Bad For Your Mental Health

    According to researchers at Johns Hopkins, people who eat meats cured with nitrates are three times more likely to experience a manic episode.

    Apparently, added nitrates are associated with hyperactivity and insomnia.

    Researchers said experiments in rats showed mania-like hyperactivity after just a few weeks on diets with added nitrates.

    They say this new study adds to evidence that certain diets and potentially the amounts and types of bacteria in the gut may contribute to mania and other disorders that affect the brain.

    A little mania is a good thing.

    It takes a lot of bacon to keep up the 400 pounds of bodyweight that eating all that bacon produced over time...

    It looks quite appetizing, but I generally prefer "portrait" over "landscape":

    With that said, I'm reminded of sage advice a former co-worker once gave me: Never attempt to consume a food item that is larger than your own head.

    I’m actually doing close to a carnivore diet right now and I probably eat 20 pieces of thick-cut bacon a week. Around 8 to 10 eggs a week, and a few pounds of fillet mignon.
