Vegetarian Doctors Go Whole Hog to Burn Bacon in Iowa
On Saturday, pork aficionados will meet up in Des Moines, Iowa, for the fifth annual Blue Ribbon Bacon Festival, billed as America's "premier" bacon celebration.They're protesting bacon? Something tells me that won't go over very well. Oh, wait, it didn't:
The event, which sold out all 4,000 tickets in 25 minutes, offers something to make every swine lover swoon: unlimited bacon samples, a bacon-eating contest, educational lectures, a bacon-themed songwriting contest and crowning of a new bacon queen. Organizers plan to serve up about three tons of the fatty strips.
Still, the anti-bacon campaign is proving to be an uphill battle. After canvassing the state, the doctors' group has so far enlisted only six volunteers, and has been locked out of the event's official schedule.Only six volunteers? They'd better grab some more people before folks start mistaking their group for the CSGV - or a Mitt Romney fan club... If the name of the group sounds familiar, that's because I mentioned them just last week as agitating for the closing down of the "Heart Attack Grill" in Las Vegas. Only the article in which they pushed for the HAG to close didn't mention that they were vegans...
And PCfRM can have my bacon when they pry it from my cold, dead fingers...
That is all.

My wife and I discussed going, but
A: I was on call that day. (fixable)
B: It sold out too damn fast.
Oh, I'm sure that they'll be some sort of Edict coming from the Fat Tzar in the White House to help those Veggie Doctors any day now. It's probably buried in the Obamacare Bill. You know, the one you have to pass to find out what's in it?
They should be arrested and charged with crimes against bacon.

they can have my bacon when I'm done with it.
May it fertilize their vegetables.
