I was toying with the idea of calling this “How to attract Men” but figured that may lead you down the wrong idea of what this is all about.

All men know the power of Bacon, it makes everything taste great. To hell with making other things taste great, let’s eat it by itself, or even better, wrapped in bacon. Mmmmmmm.

I’ve been noticing lately that bacon is cropping up in places I’ve never really noticed it before. Mexican food.

The usual crew went out for lunch a few weeks ago and ended up trying a new to us Mexican joint. The food was really quite good, and we had a very pleasant lunch.

One of the guys perusing the menu, noticed a Fajita plate that included bacon. He immediately felt drawn, even compelled to order said dish.

Turned out to be a really good choice as it was indeed incredibly tasty and he no doubt would quite happily order it again. The power of bacon at work. While the rest of the menu was pretty good, it would be the lasting impression of the bacon that would draw us back.

Taco Bell has put out a new burrito recently that has “bacon, topped with bacon” it also has man’s other two favourite foods. Meat and potatoes. Could this be the perfect food?

Probably not, but it is likely to get folks who would normally stay away from Taco Bell and Mexican food to give it a try. The marketing folks of Taco Bell realize this and thus a bacon burrito is born. Tap into the subconscious of man and hit the primal urges that make man crave that most delicious of meat candies … Bacon.

I made sure I ate before writing this piece as sure as day following night, if I espoused the virtues of bacon on an empty stomach, I would be forced to immediately venture forth in search of tasty bacon.

Let’s completely ignore the health concerns over consuming too much fat, apparently the marketing departments have no issues doing so.

As an example, allow me to hold up the Wendy’s Baconator. I’ve had a baconator once or twice and they are indeed incredibly tasty, however at around 1000 calories for 1 they are horrendously bad for you. Throw in a large fries and soda and you have AT LEAST your daily caloric intake in one meal.

It is difficult to refuse the allure of that most tasty pig product and I believe you should dig in and enjoy.

Do yourself a favour though and maybe cut down just a little. It’s a treat, not a staple. The life you save may be your own.

Kind Regards,
