Omni or vegan, I think we can all find common ground that the bacon fad explosion has reached a sufficiently absurd level, and requires a swift, quiet demise.

People's brains are different. Ever hear the term one man's meat is another man's poison? Case in point, literally.

And while being vegan can be considered morally commendable by some, just ruminate on the fact that in other parts of the world humans simply do not have the option to be vegan due to food shortage and famine. Or even living in areas where the soil simply cannot be cultivated enough to sustain the populace.

So if you're vegan, cool. Just remember it's a privilege afforded to you by the circumstances of being born in a first world nation.

Who's feeling guilty? Give me a sharp enough knife and I'll kill and cook that fucking pig myself if I want some bacon. I don't feel the slightest bit guilty about eating meat. You know why? Because I organize my life around a little thing called reason. I examine the evidence for/against moral and evaluative claims, and make judgments based on that examination. Emotionality (and Emotivism) have no part in my reasoning processes.

That said, I've examined plenty of arguments for/against eating meat (including, yes, Peter Singer's 'Animal Liberation'), and while many of the arguments for eating meat are a bit lacking, the arguments against eating meat almost invariably fall prey (get it?) to any number of logical fallacies and easy disputation (biological, historical, and otherwise).

However, I will grant you this, Anon - the bacon craze is most assuredly annoying, and the overuse of bacon in foods/meals that it wouldn't normally grace its presence with has gone beyond novelty, and crossed into a kind of fashionable obscenity. Sort of like tattoos, in a sense.

Then again... I almost have to wonder if some vegans/vegetarians haven't helped to create the bacon fad as a reaction to perceived self-righteous and judgmental dispositions on their part...
