As a foodie and an amateur chef, this story disgusts me.  I care deeply about the food I eat, and if you are following this page, I suspect that you do as well.  The kind of food that I like to eat is adventurous.  I know the risks that I assume when I prepare sausage or eat beef carpaccio.  The idea that serving such food to friends and family could even conceivably subject me to law enforcement contact is beyond the pale.

How do you feel about this story?

Bacon Saves Lives

From the article:

Cured salted pork crafted as a nasal tampon and packed within the nasal vaults successfully stopped nasal hemorrhage promptly, effectively, and without sequelae … To our knowledge, this represents the first description of nasal packing with strips of cured pork for treatment of life-threatening hemorrhage in a patient with Glanzmann thrombasthenia.

Is there anything that bacon can't do?
