Wow. That picture is a lot bigger than it was in TFA. Sorry about that.

They are a delicious factor.

So... bacon will be cheaper?

Prices of pork bellies, from which bacon is sliced...

Wow. The more you know.

Poor baby. Did mommy make you eat meat? Boo hoo, better call a Wahhhhhmbulance.

Anyone who would cut back on bacon due to a lack of tomatoes is missing the point, and doesn't deserve bacon in the first place.

I'm self-employed.

Hardly. Tomatoes are disgusting. Mainly because they are the devil's fruit, and they lie. They appear as fruit, but taste as vegetables with their semi-rotten centers full of juice resembling blood and pus just waiting to stain your taste buds.

Until tomatoes atone for their sins and are purified through steam and pulverization into either sauce, ketchup, or a beverage mixer they will never be clean for human consumption and should be avoided at all costs.

Or at least that's the excuse I make up every time someone questions me why I don't eat tomatoes other than the fact that I just don't care for their flavor. And even then I get questioned like I'm some sort of weirdo just because I don't like the taste of something other people do.

If I can't win an argument you make up against me, I'll at least confuse and befuddle you into submission.

Well that's just great! And I even posted a recepie for a BLO in the tomato thread the other day. Now what am I supposed to eat? An LO? An LOC? Wait, no cheese, I guess. Anyone hear about the "bathtub cheese" that's being made south of the border and getting smuggled/sold here? Yeah, it can contain TB. Link (new window)

Just wait, next week we'll find out that onions cause cataracts and lettuce is a leading cause of scabies...

/goes off to eat some dirt, that's still safe, right?

Not to worry, everyone. The pulsed radio fields pioneered by Royal Rife can kill Salmonella if tuned to 1552 (Hz, kHz? who knows?)

More BLTs for me, though!

See, if you consistently use good lettuce and maybe something other than mayo, then you have me on the BLT.

I had a BBLT yesterday so I'm getting a kick ...

Salmonella is the most delicious-sounding bacteria.

Of course, fecal coliform sounds enticing too...

Sure. Nevermind that the tomato is the staple of human existance. You, as an aberration, must be elimitated.

Depends on the animal. Cows wouldn't be here if we didn't eat them. Enslaving != harvesting food.
Bigotry != harvesting food.

This Alice woman must be some stuck up negro biatch.

NOTHING, I repeat, NOTHING will curb my appetite for glorious BACON!

THIS.

I grow my own tomatoes...Much better and tastier than the crap from the store.

/And why the store sells crap instead of food, I don't know.

Did they ever figure out where the bad tomatoes came from or at least an idea what region?

The ones in my fridge were grown in Canada. I have Canadian tomatoes in June, WTF?

Those almost certainly were grown in a greenhouse. Given summer's late onset this year, I don't expect any of my tomatoes until July up here.

Yes.

Hydroponics is your friend. But yah, I don't buy tomatoes out of season and grow my own.

This year is looking pretty good already too.

I'm doing good if I include bread with my Ham/Turkey/Bacon and Salami sandwiches.

Subby needs to shut his or her whore mouth and stifle the panicking!

GOD YES! Tomatoes are vile things! They're all slimey and seedy!

If only there was a Federal Dept. that would regulate production handling of food when processing.

"Pork bellies! I knew it! I knew it!"

Tomatoes are frikkin gross. Not as bad as pickles mind you. But this still leaves bacon sammiches. Or bacon, egg and cheese, if you must water down your bacony flavor.

Cooked tomatoes, such as pasta sauce, are just fine.

/doesn't really like onions either
//or condiments as a whole. mayonnaise, mustard, ketchup
///has the palate of a five year old

I often consider those who claim eating animals is morally wrong to be really impressed with themselves; carnivorous animals eat other animals for sustenance and nobody decries that. So in essence those who say we should not be eating animals are making some big distinction between humans and other animals - that we are better, or that we are smarter - that we are fundamentally different enough so that eating animals is wrong for us and not wrong for them.

I personally am not so inflated that I draw such a big distinction. Humans may have a layer of more complicated intelligence atop everything else, but underneath that is a seething ball of evolved instincts and what I can only call animalistic reactions.

I eat animals, and I feel absolutely no moral qualms about that simple fact. Of course, I will freely admit some hypocrisy because I do not approve of the way food animals are treated, but I remain sure of, and ready to defend, the idea that simply eating an animal is not wrong.

P.S. I also heartily endorse eating tomatoes in their raw form. Delicious. And denounce Rife therapy.
