Bacon mania

Why are Americans so batty for bacon? It's delicious, it's decadent -- and it's also a fashion statement.

    Porko

    Back in the day when Fox News was trying to get everyone to refer to people in the drug trade as "narco-terrorists", I was trying to live a life without pork and beef. I'd ask the server, "Is there any meat in this?", and he or she would say No, then I'd ask the server to tell me the ingredients, and the response was "blah, blah, blah, bacon, blah, blah". Apparently bacon is not considered meat by many people.

    So I called these people "porko-terrorists" -- people who try to stick pork in everything without you knowing it.
