The Meat Indusry Employs Questionable Math/Logic

If five slices of bacon give you 28% of the thiamin (vitamin B1) you need, 18 slices will give you 100%.  Three things to consider, however:

1) Bacon, as a processed meat, is generally considered unhealthy due to its high salt and fat content, along with potential health risks like cancer and heart disease. I’m not a dietary scientist, but 18 slices of bacon per day doesn’t sound like a good idea (ignoring the fact that the concept itself is disgusting).

2) Salmon, black beans, lentils, whole grains, nuts, seeds, and certain vegetables like green peas are also high in thiamin.

3) Pigs are highly intelligent and sensitive animals. Most decent people would much rather kill a salmon than a pig.
