As a self-proclaimed health-nut, I'm already on bad terms with bacon as it is; but that hatred compounds itself every time that burnt meat desecrates my salad and sullies my taste buds. You don't need me to cite facts about how bacon's high in saturated fat and sodium or that it has a high caloric density to convince you of how laughably unhealthy this breakfast meat is— it's all been said before. What I mean to point out is how absolutely repulsive it is taste-wise. The flavor makes me cringe and anything resembling it causes me to gag (I'm looking at you vegan bacon!). It really could just be me, but I don't believe that, although I've had my own personal trials with these distasteful pig-flaps.
