Lifestyle: Bacon as a food: Is it too fatty?

Lifestyle is all about self-tutoring. The tutor looks into a long-time curiosity: the viability of bacon as a food.

Most of us probably love bacon. Is it too fatty to be taken seriously as food? To quote HAMlet: To eat, or not to eat, bacon: that is the question.

I decided to compare bacon with peanut butter and cheese. My specific interest is the fat content versus protein content. My findings:

Fat:protein
bacon
(cooked)
10:9
cheese
(cheddar)
11:7
peanut
butter
8:3

I’m surprised how well cooked bacon compares to the other two.
