Bacon

ashm1220 · July 2016

I am not one to really "crave" but since last week all I want is bacon. With my fruit, on my ice cream, in my salad, or by itself. I don't know what is going on because I don't care for bacon normally but now I can't get enough. Please tell me I'm not alone here

I have never said no to bacon.

ashm1220 · July 2016

I seriously can't get enough.

I'm with you. I'm reticent to blame it on pregnancy as I always play for Team Bacon.

I strongly believe that bacon is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy!

when I was pregnant with DD bacon was my number 1 aversion, i couldn't stand the smell/sight of it, but as soon as I gave birth, the next morning couldn't wait to eat it...but this time around so far, it's one of my cravings! i've been eating bacon/egg/cheese sandwiches on a regular basis LOL

No craving it... But yum!

My aunt always makes bacon wrapped chestnuts with a barbecue glaze for family events. It's a religious experience.

Not to be a party pooper (because I've been craving it too!), but isn't it on the same list as lunch meats because of the nitrates bacon has?

Bacon just needs to be cooked throughly and stored correctly. Per the FDA:

Thank you! @AverageAsh

@bubbybear15 You can also buy uncured bacon if you'd like to cut down on nitrates.

I lived off bacon with my daughter and she turned out okay.

I believe Listeria is the concern w/cold cuts.

AverageAsh · July 2016

... and listeria can be in literally anything...

nursemama-2 · July 2016

The last thing with listeria here was chocolate milk. Both my daughter and I drank it. I wasn't pregnant at the time, but food is one thing I try not to worry too much about. I don't hear up deli meat and I eat hotdogs.

...And there's some concern about nitrates being carcinogenic, pregnant or not.

Again, it's your body, your baby. YOU get to decide if that is a major concern for you or not. For some people, it isn't a huge factor. A million things CAN be carcinogenic. You can live your life around that or not, your call.
