So I saw this article on the New York Times the other day: http://www.nytimes.com/2009/01/28/dining/28bacon.html
It seems like some people in Kansas have come up with a BBQ dish that is becoming quite popular in the US. It is called the bacon explosion. Once you see the pictures, you'll know why. With at least 5000 calories and 500 grams of fat, this monstrosity could feed an entire village in Africa. However, for people who have regular diets eating this thing could lead to a whole host of bad things happening. First of all, you'll definitely be gaining a pound of fat, pork fat. That weighs more than your heart and guess where it is going to first. If fluid dynamics in physics has taught me anything, it is that a partially blocked artery is a bad thing (If someone where to cut that artery, I could predict how much blockage would be necessary to squirt a little boy 10 m away. Thanks, physics!). Secondly, by eating the bacon explosion, pigs will never look at you the same way. Lastly, I would like to see that "Supersize Me" guy document himself trying to eat this thing in one sitting. I would definitely watch that, right after I made sure no pigs were in the room.
Blog for a Cure
All the ad revenue generated from this blog and several others will go to the Chordoma Foundation which is a non-profit organization that goes towards research and treatment of this rare bone cancer. Funding is needed because governments tend to pass over such rare diseases when distributing funding. If you would like to learn more, please visit www.chordomafoundation.org
Due to the support for this blog, we have now raised $62ish, all of which will go towards the Chordoma Foundation. Thank you.
