people are obsessed with bacon because of its smell.
‘This particular reaction releases a medley of around 150 volatile organic compounds from the bacon, which float through the air and create the amazing smell. ‘It's not just the snack you desire, the smell itself is an example of chemistry at work, stimulating your brain and body.’ When the compounds reach the nose, they stimulate particular pathways in the brain, making people physically crave bacon.
And 43 per cent of Canadians said they would choose bacon over sex, in a 2010 survey
As both producer and devourer, the pig effectively represents the primative view of divinity as an earth goddess beyond good and evil. However, by the dawn of history the sky fathers, Zeus, Yaweh, Indra and their counterparts have taken over and the evolution toward moral religion has begun. The creatures of the underworld, already viewed with fear, become increasingly sinister and abhorrent. Even in Polynesia, where so much that was primitive remained until modern times, the masculine assertied itself sufficiently to find rites for eluding the devouring demons. The fact that pig's blood was in ancient times a powerful purifying agent suggests on the one hand the sacredness of the pig, and on the other its affinity with the demonic. Thus when Jesus casts the demons out of the man he sends them into a herd of swine, and action appropriate both because pigs are sacred animals, and thus able to absorb and carry off evil, and because as underworld creatures themselves, they have an affinity with the demonic that makes them receptive to it.
Among the Egyptians, also, touching a pig was unclean, and swineherds were a class almost of untouchables, forbidden even to enter a temple (Frazer. 548). Once a year, however, pigs were sacrificed to Osiris and to the moon, and at that time their flesh was eaten. Thus, the eating of pork, at the proper time, was a sacremental act.

i will never understand why back bacon is thought to be better than sex. Belly bacon maybe, but not the back bacon.
All hail the holy sacrament of BACON!

Pigs, however, have been more than mere humans; they have been gods as well. According to Frazer (Frazer. 554), "it may almost be laid down as a rule that an animal which is said to have injured a god was originally the god himself." Attis, Adonis, and Osirus all had been boars if this is true. In addition, Caridwen, a Celtic grain goddess, was also a sow; and apparently at one time the Greek grain goddess Demeter and her daughter Persephone were also pigs. Persephone was also called The Maid, and so there were at one time swine maidens as well as swan maidens.
Shakespeare:
His eyes like glow-worms shine when he doth fret; His snout digs sepulchres where'er he goes. Venus and Adonis
Some people think that 'the gods' were aliens, and they invented religion as a means of control. if that's true, then maybe eating bacon is the way to enlightenment, and that's why they told us not to.
Sex over bacon? Hmmm....how much bacon are we talking about?

So why don't they just use bacon to depopulate the world instead of making us eat chemicals and foods that make us infertile.
I have researched a lot of food chemistry that is added to our foods, and I have found that there are better alternatives. They would rather keep us doped up, a little weak and sickly, or infertile than to have us strong and able to see the big scam in this nation.
