People are not reacting well to the news that bacon is really, REALLY bad for you

The World Health Organisation have announced that processed meats can cause cancer.

TODAY, THE NEWS that processed meats such as bacon and sausages have been put in the same category of carcinogen as tobacco broke across the land.

The whole internet was all

Please. Don’t take the bacon from us.

Some blamed science

Devastating that scientists say bacon causes cancer and we face the fact that we’ll have to give up science.

You could have respected bacon, but you had to make it into houses and bikinis and you left bacon with only one possible avenue of revenge.

Look on the bright side. If bacon really does cause cancer soon we'll all get to enjoy the glory of designated Bacon Areas outside pubs.

And the hookups when those who don't give it up have to eat outside. "Where did ye meet?" "Oh we were outside in the bacon area one night"
