READ THIS ARTICLE! It was written by Arun Gupta for the Indypendent, and is an impressive chronicle of all of the processes and consequences surrounding America's addiction to bacon. It comprehensively touches upon such exigent topics as factory farming, COFAs, swine flu and other infectious diseases, nutritional health, the fast food industry and our larger food system, and ties them all together as they are inextricably linked both to each other and to our well-being. I have yet to see a better account of the meatrix that we live in, or a better explanation of why bacon's prevalence in our society indeed makes it a weapon of mass destruction.
