Lil' Sebastian wants that bacon!

*promote "Turkey bacon" [and more views]

No self-respecting bacon-lover cooks their bacon in the microwave. C'mon, people!

Nope, we don't eat salmon for breakfast. It is much more boring, sandwiches, porridge, coffee, milk, bacon&eggs, cornflakes, juice, that sort of things.. Salmon is way too expensive to have on breakfast... If you happen to have it, yeah maybe but not everyday..

But we may have horse or reindeer meat in the sausage (meetwurst) on our the sandwhich... We don't eat horse as a dish but it is often mixed in the sausage, it has to be seasoned strongly, so it fits in quite well and you don't need a lot of it. Reindeer of course is more common and less controversial as it's traditionally herded in Lapland and can be a full dish. "Poronkäristys", loosely translated as Reindeer Fry Stew is pretty good served with lingonberry jam and mash potatoes but it's a bit expensive.

Too bad they didn't have reindeer in there, that would've freaked the kids the hell out: "you are eating Peter the Rednose reindeer"

Well actually I quite agree with your comment here

It's not me who's attached to bacon (bleh!!!) and steaks, I just know that although eating bacon and deep fried mars bars will (probably) kill you, eating a good diet won't guarantee a long and healthy life either.

I knew this would happen. Talking to you, too, @oritteropo:

I'm leaving it with just this, because people are attached to their bacon and steaks as tightly as they are tied to religion. Perhaps it's again apples to oranges, but I'm guessing a lot of you are the same folks who rant against religion and wonder why people are so stupid and don't look at logic and science, blah blah blah. This is the perfect time to look in the mirror and see a touch of what you're up against. When you've been indoctrinated with something since you were literally born, you fight against being wrong so hard. So, so hard. Seriously. Take a moment, take a deep breath, and take a little search inside looking at how much of you knows for a fact that eating meat is just fine, and how much of it is cognitive dissonance. How much of it is emotional and how much of it is logical. Look at a video of people going on and on about how Jesus Christ is Lord and another video of people going on and on about how much they love bacon. It's kind of disturbing how zealous bacon-lovers get. Try it. It's fun. It's why I became vegetarian only about 4 or 5 years ago. And I gotta say, getting rid of that cognitive dissonance is very, very relieving and satisfying.

Yes, yes, yes. Loads and loads of vegetarians and vegans are unhealthy. Actually, I would argue that most vegetarians and vegans are wholly less healthy than omnivores since most of them have a high-and-mighty "I'm vegetarians/vegan so I'm automatically healthy" and eat some of the most disgusting, heart-disease-inducing, oily, fatty, un-nutririous, processed shit that's ever been made. Look at some of the fake meat stuff to just have a peek.

No. If you actually watched any of the videos you will see that it's not just being vegan that is important. It's to be a healthy vegan. You know, all that shit you can't ever, ever argue is bad for you. Fruits. Leafy greens. Beans. Lentils. Whole grains, occasionally. But mostly leafy greens and fruit.

And there are loads of studies that control exercise and all sorts of other arguments for "NO NO NO! IT'S NOT MY MEAT! STAY AWAY FROM IT IT'S ANYTHING BUT MY MEAT!". I can think of a specific one that I read/watched about controlling for exercise, and I can find it for you if you'd like, but I'm guessing you aren't really interested. They discovered that very aerobic, exercising, running omnivores were as healthy as lightly walking vegans. He even had a cute graphic for it.

And it's not just this guy, either. Head over to Dr. Fuhrman's website for more of the same. Except Dr. Fuhrman is toting stuff to sell, so that unnerves some people. They claim he's just trying to make a buck. But all the money he makes goes to nutritional research.

The last thing I'll say is this:

I honestly don't give a flying shit about what you eat. I don't really care about the environment at all. I'm not planning on having kids, and I'm sure I'll kick the ol' bucket before antibiotics stop working, water is scarce, the waters rise above NYC, and all the other possible doomsday things that'll probably happen within the next 100 or so years. It's true that I also enjoy not feeling guilty for eating animals who live. It'd make me happy if you stopped eating them because the main thing I believe I'm around for is to minimize suffering in the world. So, that'd be nice if more people didn't eat them.

But if you want to live a nice, long, healthy life where you don't die of a stroke, heart attack, or diabetes by the time you're 65, eat better.

There's a reason why the milk, sugar, meat and pharmaceutical companies pump out study after study about how it's totally fine to eat their shit. They spend so much money on it, it's ridiculous.

Cheers to your health, either way.

Where's Kevin Bacon when you need him?

Canada doesn't really have a problem so its highly uninteresting to stereotype them. I mean, there's only so much fun you can have with moose and bacon jokes.

Leafcutter ants are supposed to taste like bacon.

I've eaten crickets, mealworms and ants. The experience was never...satisfying.
This leads me to think, if you're living in an over populated party of the world, you should be encouraged to eat insects if local agriculture cannot sustain the population. I do not plan to eat bugs when there are 3billion people in India. A lack of population planning, control and education in foreign communities does not equal me eating bugs. If my own country fails in these regards then I will accept the consequences when that happens.

My daughter just came out with the ultimate question regarding insect based cuisine - "Can they taste like bacon?"

ALL DRESSED CHIPS ARE NOT BLAND! BLASPHEMY! LIES AND SLANDER!
RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGE!

In all seriousness though, Canadian cuisine isn't terribly developed. I think my favourite thing to see though, is a local Chinese food restaurant that has Canadian / Chinese food. I've always wondered what the hell that means, and can only think of Back Bacon Fried rice.

That'll teach ya to do closeups of bacon frying before heading out for the day.

ingenuity? dont tell me about outlets... tell me about back bacon

You're probably right. Haven't eaten at either of them for over a decade.

Don't get me wrong. I'm not some paleo-vegan-organic-raw food zealot. If there's butter, bacon or chocolate involved, I'm there.

I would just rather give my money to my local fish and chip shop than to the likes of mcd or burger king.
