I used to be that way. 100% hardcore gimme that delicious bacon.

An article by Glenn Greenwald (of interviewing Snowden fame) on Ag Gag laws [1] made me realize that, at least in the US, eating bacon meant I was supporting some real fucked up shit.

I'm not opposed to meat, I just bought a whole beef, but I definitely took a hard look at where my meat was coming from.

Also getting an (un)healthy dose of Ractopamine with that bacon if you’re in the US.

Not to mention bacon is a recognized type 1 carcinogen.
