1. Humorous illustration of how I feel

First this food is bad for you, then good for you, then bad for you again.

2. I have been following this story line for years; right now I waiting for bacon to be rehabilitated.

3. Bacon may have been put on the "bad for you" list but I don't think people stopped eating it.

It tastes too good.

6. The good side of bacon - it smells great cooking, has no carbs, has vitamins

and it's not sprayed with glyphosate before harvest like oatmeal. So, bacon and eggs are probably a much healthier breakfast than the all carb pesticided oatmeal.

I always eat bacon with no additives or preservatives with eggs from my own chickens.

The question of eggs being good or bad for you carries over to cholesterol readings. Bad and then.... maybe not so bad. Can't make it up.

A University of South Florida professor and an international team of experts have found that older people with high levels of a certain type of cholesterol, known as low-density lipoprotein (LDL-C), live as long, and often longer, than their peers with low levels of this same cholesterol.

4. My doctor says I eat as health as any of his patients

Lots of fruit, organic fermented milk products, vegetables, legumes, whole grain. Little red meat and a good bit of that low fat venison. Very little processed sugar as I do not like dessert. You get the idea.

So why am I 40lbs over weight?

I eat way too much healthy food!

At then end of the day, calories are calories.
