“Berlin Reed, also known locally as the Ethical Butcher, is starting a ‘bacon of the month’ club, in which members can receive a 2 lb slab of bacon each month.
“Reed was a self-described ‘militant vegan’ until his job as a butcher eased him onto sustainable meat sources. He found he could make more of a positive impact by supporting local, sustainable farmers, than merely all-out ignoring the meat industry.”

“Men prefer the smell of petrol and frying bacon to that of a newborn baby, a study has found.”
In other news, a study has found that women also prefer the smell of bacon to that of babies. Babies stink.
“Mmmm. Smell that? It’s the scent of bacon mania. There are bacon blogs, bacon cookbooks, bacon-scented air fresheners, bacon tweets and a book entitled Bacon, A Love Story. “Bacon Butties” has more than 500,000 fans on Facebook. “Bacon mania” even has its own Wikipedia entry.
“Bacon has wound its way into desserts. It is now vogue to match savory bacon with sweet dishes. There are bacon cookies, brownies and cupcakes; bacon cakes, pies and bread pudding; bacon ice cream, milkshakes and truffles; bacon chocolate bars, jellybeans and, yes, bacon baklava.”

Hahaha “The Hypocrite”. Awesome.
