Just ate eight slices of bacon, and that reminded me of my dad who every Sunday would order both eggs and bacon.

That's not remarkable really. What is was how much of each he ate at one sitting. And no he wasn't fat nor died of a heart attack. He was short and slim not skinny like me!

I remember working in the sub-artic back in the 80's.....

The usual breakfast was 6-8 eggs and as much ham, bacon, milk and coffee as you wanted.

You burn a lot of calories in that kind of cold................

@TryingtoLava only 1 strip of Bacon ? Jeesh ! or is it only 1 lb , lol
@FurryFace hahaha 1 or 2 :)
FurryFace · 61-69, M
depends how i make the eggs , 2 for sunny side up , 3 for scrambled , or 6 hard boiled but i might eat 2 or 3 and save the others for later , as bacon goes i love it so 1/2 a pound easily and they shrink a little when you cook em

@FurryFace geesh! Only half a pound of bacon. A full flat here is 12 ounces. That's what I had to make for dad! 🙃😈😁

The problem with bacon is the preservatives in it. Nitrites can be toxic to the pancreas and that increases the risk of diabetes. But you can help neutralize it if you have food with vitamin C in it such as fruit like oranges, strawberries or orange juice. Eggs naturally have lecithin in them to help emulsify the cholesterol. I don’t think they are nearly as bad for cholesterol as the medical establishment was saying for decades. They like to put patients on drugs and have kept lowering the “safe” readings for cholesterol measurement so they can do just that.

@cherokeepatti interesting that my father actually lived to age 70.

Reason though was cancer. He smoked.

@DeWayfarer there are nitrites in tobacco smoke too. also found in some well waters.
DeWayfarer · 61-69, M
@cherokeepatti well water wasn't a significant factor for my father. Rivers where the source when he grew up. Everything else was mostly city water.

3 eggs about 8 slices of bacon for a meal according to MrAbu's standards.
DeWayfarer · 61-69, M
@MrAboo You're close on what my father ate on Bacon. 😆
MrAboo · 36-40, M

DeWayfarer · 61-69, M
@MrAboo Image of my father is above!

We both ate a lot! Heck I often made breakfast for him in his later years. 😁

I eat 4 eggs everyday.... no bacon...but i would if i bought it regularly
DeWayfarer · 61-69, M
@Tminus6453 My father would have starved to death. Seriously!
FreestyleArt · 31-35, M
@Tminus6453 same. 4 eggs along with Turkey Bacon and hot sauce. Sometimes with Noodles
DeWayfarer · 61-69, M
@FreestyleArt This was his exact order. No matter which Bob's big boy waitress it was. It got the same expression of surprise when they finally understood it.

One dozen scrambled hard eggs, and a slab of bacon.

They almost always thought he was kidding.

Saved this answer for last. 🙃😈😁

My grandpa had gobs of bacon, eggs and Vodka for breakfast every morning. He was rail thin all his life, and passed away at 102.

That's not to say that's the secret to long life, far from it. That influenced my life-long disgust with bacon and hard liquor.

Bacon and eggs, however, is the US way of life.
DeWayfarer · 61-69, M
@Northwest I learned people had different tolerancees rather early in life. Especially regarding alcohol.

Mom was definitely a hard cord alcoholic. Didn't even make the same plane as me in our trip to Germany.

Yet I got to meet on that trip a tall slim relation by marriage that actually was nearly twice mom's age and every single day drank both wine and one shot of cognac. She was 98 then. And I was only 14.

Hope that helps in understanding of some.
I have been known to eat 4 slices of bacon and 3 eggs at one time but usually two of each is what I eat. I eat a wide variety of fruit and veggies though so meat is not usually important to me, But bacon..☝️Is from Heaven. 😁

Men obviously eat more but I'm happy with two eggs and two bacon. 😀
Ynotisay · M
Five or six eggs. No bacon.
On thé rare occasions I eat bacon and eggs now, it’s been two eggs, scrambled, and two slices turkey bacon.
