I've long believed that the objective, long-term goal of the Nanny State is to achieve their authoritarian ideals by waging a slow campaign to suck every ounce of joy out of our lives by banning whatever it is that gives us pleasure for health or safety reasons.  We saw a vicious attack by the Nanny State on the tastiest of foods in this piece, and you can find all the pieces I've done on different Nanny State actions, just think of something your Nanny Overlords want to take away from you, and search for it in the Search, its probably there.

The good folks at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine at Yeshiva University could have taken the Official Nanny State Pat On The Head, but rejected it!

Turns out, bacon, sausage and other eeeevil processed meats can provide nitrates which actually help your heart fight off muscle death if you have a heart attack.  While vegetables are the heathiest source of nitrite and nitrate, its not the end of the world if you enjoy delicious crispy smoky bacon and other tasty meats.  Beyond that, the concern over nitrate and nitrite causing cancer has been overstated! 

The takeaway, Bacon is not the Antichrist, and you can enjoy life, Suck it Nanny Staters!
