Bacon is so hot right now.

It's official, this country is more obsessed with bacon right now than at any point ever before. Sure, bacon has always been popular, but never at this scale. The interntet and pop-culture have tacon taken a simple breakfast staple and transformed it into the en vogue food of the moment. A few years back everyone was scared to eat bacon because of high fat, high sodium, high cholesterol and now people are putting it in everything; popcorn, mayonaise, bread, chewing gum, soap, air freshener, cupcakes, beer and chocolate just to name a few. Of course one of the major reasons for this new found love affair with bacon is exactly because it is so bad for us. It's the element of danger that makes it so appealing. If a prestigious medical journal came out tomorrow and proclaimed "Bacon = Healthy!" we would have to find some other unhealthy side item to gravitate to. My vote would be fried cheese! I would pretty much eat fried cheese with anything. Perhaps fried cheese wrapped in bacon? This post just made me really really ridiculously hungry.
