I like piglets

...in Lard.
 
 
Fried.

All doctors are liars including me.

This is just foolish statistics. The usual way this kind of sophistry is applied is in the opposite direction. Some quack will claim that you can live forever by following the following 635947 rules. He will then go to the literature mostly based on case control studies (the second weakest form of medical/biological evidence), that showed that people who answered that they ate bacon on average lived a few days less than people who did not, and posit that avoidance of bacon can extend your life by that number of days. Then he finds that people who avoid smoking celery stalks added an average of 12 days to their life and so on. So if you can live 35 days longer by avoiding bacon, and 15 days longer by not smoking celery, the obviously you can live 50 days longer by avoiding both. By adding up enough correlations, it is 
mathematically  possible to live forever if you avoid everything that has shown a risk in one of these studies.

Unfortunately your body does not care about such silliness, and will stop working at some point regardless. The single most important determinant of longevity is genetics. So choose your parents carefully.

Pfft...


They cannot ever spell 'becan' proper.

When The Lovely Lady and I were in London we ate at a place in Kensington that purported to server a "proper" burger. There wern't no becan on it.

I've cut down on my Bacon consumption. Maybe that's why I'm depressed.

I'd drop names but the authorities removed me before I got any.

*Mental note to self... Stop smoking celery...*

The single most important determinant of longevity is genetics. So choose your parents carefully

 
The single most important determinant of longevity is nutrition, what you eat. What you don't eat if you don't eat the right things for your cellular health. It's not so much the ingestion of bacon but the lack of ingestion of other things. Your Genes will respond to what you feed them with whether they are super genes or worn out, mal-nutrition afflicted genes.
