No update on whether Mr. Bumble—the bacon-loving skunk—has lost any weight yet. Thought I’d share more pictures of the plump little fella (courtesy of metro.co.uk and dailymail.co.uk). I had no idea how fat he was from the initial picture I posted—still rather adorable though. This should be a clear warning that an all-bacon diet may just be too much of a good thing. I’m not saying bacon is bad—in fact it can be quite good for you! It’s all about balance... and contrary to popular belief, I do eat a vegetable every now and then. No one wants to end up Bumble-sized.
Easting healthy is all about balance... Wait, why am I talking about healthy eating on a bacon blog? Well, it turns out that bacon is really good for you (in moderation of course)! According to Bon Appetite, bacon is #1 on the list of “10 surprising Superfoods.” Jennifer McLagan, author of Fat (which no one has bought for me yet!!!), tells us that nearly half of the fat in bacon is monounsaturated—this fat is oleic acid. I don’t really know what any of that means but it is basically the same kind of fat found in olive oil—the good for you kind of fat!
Also on the list is duck breast, fresh strawberries, and milk—WHOLE milk to be exact (good, because I hate the 1% crap). Eating healthy sounds a lot more delicious...
