In recent years, bacon has consumed pop culture. The first food to "go viral" on social media, bacon fever has electrified the nation, bringing together disparate parties normally at odds.
Whatever it's health impacts, one thing cannot be denied: Bacon brings people together. Republican or Democrat, corporate tycoon or revolutionary street activist, all are agreed, bacon is delicious.
High in fat and sodium? Maybe, but how can you measure that against the joy it brings the American people? The incredible contribution it has made to the peaceful well-being of our republic?
We, the undersigned, respectfully request that the USDA set a Recommended Daily Intake (RDI) for bacon, so that all Americans can be guided on how best to participate in this amazing, nation building food.
