It's Bacon! B A C O N! What more do you need to know?

[elfs]

I went to Nutrition Data, a reasonably helpful (usually) calorie and protein counter for all kinds of foods. I typed in "bacon," and it said,

Please narrow your search. Do you mean: Breakfast Cereals, Legumes and Legume Products, Poultry Products, Pork Products, Sausages and Luncheon Meats, Soups, Sauces, and Gravies, Fats and Oils, Baby Foods, Fast Foods, generic, Foods from A&W, Foods from Arby's, Foods from Back Yard Burgers, Foods from Burger King, Foods from Carl's Jr., Foods from Chick-fil-A, Foods from Culver's, Foods from Dairy Queen, Foods from Del Taco, Foods from Domino's, Foods from Hardee's, Foods from Krystal, Foods from McDonald's, Foods from Papa John's, Foods from Papa Murphy's, Foods from Subway, Foods from Wendy's, Foods from White Castle, Foods from Wienerschnitzel, [more...]

It's bacon! BACON. B. A. C. O. N. The meat of the gods, you stupid machine. How much more "narrowing" do you need?

I imagine the computer saying, in a snooty voice, "Bacon? There IS no nutritional content in BACON. He must have meant something else."

It's got protein and fat. As well as lots of sodium.

Alas, far too many things have bacon as part of the names to avoid having to ask questions like that.

Though I do have to wonder about "Breakfast Cereals" coming up as a choice...
