Health foodists demand recount

Bacon, ice cream, cheese healthy.

“Besides being high in protein for energy, muscle and brain function, studies have shown that bacon actually lowers blood sugar levels and blood pressure. Chock full of vitamins, bacon contains choline, a whole slew of vitamin Bs, and important minerals for mood.

"’As long as your bacon is nitrate free and organic, it can be a powerful food for optimum health,’ says Salerno, adding bacon has been shown to alleviate the effects of diabetes, heart disease and strokes.”

(Thoughts: Everything is good/bad. Questionable statement farther in story: “Be sure to buy organic.” Used to be, everything was organic – grass-fed or grain-fed or grown with “organic” fertilizers, as in cow manure or horse manure. Now free-range wheat is not altogether good unless it is whole wheat, same as with all free-range grains and cereals. When I was a kid, everything was free-range – cows, chickens, pigs, goats, llamas. One more thing: The dude quoted is a “celebrity dietitian.”)
