I love bacon, but we just don't need this

Reshared post from +Mike Elgan

Now there's a TV show about bacon.

A TV show called "The United States of Bacon" premiers December 30 on the Destination America channel. 

It's about a guy who travels around the country to try different kinds of bacon.

Does this sound like salty, greasy good fun to you, or yet another descent into the portrayal of consumerist gluttony as a harmless pursuit in the midst of an obesity-driven health crisis?
