I read the OP and thought, “aww, isn’t that sweet”. See, I read it like this: “We’re eating too much, bacon.” Naturally she’s concerned with your calorie intake, which is wise in this times, and she called you by perhaps the most deferential and endearing pet name there is…bacon. ---

Even with your parsing, it can be interpreted differently. The problem is “We’re eating too much.” The solution is, “Bacon!” ---

> [@Johnny\_L.A](#): > > That’s probably why this last package seems to have gone more quickly. We had BLATs a couple of times last week. I’m guessing the A is Avocado? Because that’s what the A stands for in my BLOAT (bacon, lettuce, onion, avocado, tomato). ---

I had a breakfast buffet once where the bacon was sooooooo good- that I ate \*too much bacon. \*\* Thus, it is technically possible, tho highly unlikely. - Yes, i am pretty sure I ate more than a pound. Cooked weight. ---

> [@TriPolar](#): > > You are definitely not eating too much bacon, because you are not eating enough bacon. You should check with a physician, you may have a deficiency on that light diet. No! You need balance! You need to balance your pork fat, with your chicken fat and your beef fat. I learned that from Bill Swerski. Probably before or right after one of his heart attacks.
