    It’s so sad that your identity has become pushing back against people with food allergies because it was, at one point, trendy. They just be a sad, sad person. I hope they find more meaning out of life

    • Too much of this good thing could give you clogged arteries. I love bacon, but I don’t want a bacon sandwich made with deep-fried breaded ham slices in place of bread, & slathered in butter.

      Shit. Maybe I do, now that I’ve written it out.

      Seriously - that stuff is powdered magic. I started cooking with it a few years ago and it’s a total game-changer. The only challenge was forcing myself from adding too much. It seems to have an actual acrid taste if you add so much that it’s obvious.

          I can see it potentially working in some desserts, but as you’ve experienced it sounds like you’ve gotta approach it with a really light hand.

      MSG is the umami cheat code.

      Just put that in any food and instant umami goodness.

    I want to meet this person, someone with such strong opinions on food is either the most amusing person to talk to, or an insufferable zealot and I really want to know which this person is.

    • Nah, there’s a point where you go beyond extremism and return back to sanity, the trick is to hit that sweet spot and not keep going back to Insanity.

      I think this person nailed it.

          I’m referring to Poe’s Law, and applying it outside of the Internet.

          An example of bumper stickers as mentioned by someone else here:

          • 1-3 - probably normal
          • 4-12 - quite extreme
          • more than 12 - probably parody

          I’m saying there’s a point where parody turns back into extremism/mental illness (probably around the 20-30 bumper sticker mark). So there’s a spectrum:

          1. Normal range
          2. Crazy range
          3. Parody range
          4. Back to crazy

          Examples in conservative politics:

          1. Moderate conservatives, like your average conservative family member - probably dislikes Trump, etc, but sides with the GOP more than not
          2. Trump evangelists - doesn’t know what they believe, other than Trump; weird form of double think required to follow Trump through flip flops
          3. The old Colbert Report and other conservative parodies from the left - generally take a more extreme view from 2 to make parody obvious
          4. Far right extremist groups, like those present on Jan 6 - these groups say what 3 says and mean it, and take it even further

          Or with pork:

          1. Someone saying their favorite food is bacon when asked
          2. Someone who talks about bacon all the time, when when not talking about food (kinda weird)
          3. Someone who wears bacon themed shirts, has bacon bumper stickers, etc, in obvious parody
          4. Someone wears bacon rings, and always seems to have bacon with them

          Poe’s law is the boundary between 2 and 3, and there’s a point where you go beyond and get back to crazy.

    Without all of the other stickers, one might assume “Life Is Better With Pig” was referring to their dating preferences.
