I hope the guy posts his blood labs before and after. 

Crazy stuff.

Hm. It would be hard enough if he was allowed to take a multivitamin and eat bread also. Bacon, unfortunately, isn't even a little filling.

He's going to cheat. Color me uninterested in the long term. Unless he dies of malnutrition or a heart attack.

I would not be surprised if his blood results come back as better than when he started.

However, eating crap jimmy dead bacon for a month is just wrong.

Yeah, standard butcher's bacon is cheaper and better quality anyways.  Plus you can get him to slice it 1/2" thick.   :awesome_for_real:

I don't think I'd make it a day eating only bacon.

I agree.  If he washes it down with anything but water, he's cheating.  Fruit juice is the usual way to cheat... lots of carbs!

I would not be surprised if his blood results come back as better than when he started.

Interesting observation... and you could be correct if he did take a multivitamin.  Getting calories from bacon would force him into gluconeogenesis from fat or protein and may actually cause him to lose weight.  This would especially be the case since he's unlikely to take in enough bacon to maintain his usual calorie input (see South Beach or those other silly diets).

He said beer, wine, water and martinis I believe.

So, he can get a lot of carbs and nutrients from a Guinness every day.

Alcohol is cheating in a huge way.

Yeah, it's not halal.

Your accusations of cheating are silly. I didn't gather that he's doing this for his health or any benefit in my read of the post. He's doing it because he can. Doing it with alcohol just adds more win.

Bleh, I'm sick of the whole LULZ BAEKON fad. I thought it was over.

If he's trying to show that he can subsist entirely on bacon, supplementing it with anything will void his point.  Supplementing it with liquid bread, even moreso.

Who said he is trying to show that?

Also, because several doubters on the RiffTrax staff had the unmitigated gall to insult bacon by making the outrageous claim that, as good as it is, no one could eat very much of it and live. I can and will.

So, the stringent level he is being held to is, 'eat very much of it'.

Shit, I proved the 'eat very much' rule out at the Hemlock Hall. Meals are included, free refill on everything. That morning will forever live in my memory, fresh plate of bacon at my elbow as I ask "even bacon?" and she replied with a knowing smile, "Yes, even bacon." The guy sitting next to me looked at me and grinned and we devoured plates and plates of bacon. Not like three strips, a serving platter piled 8" high!

Agreed.  That's Michael J. Nelson of Mystery Science Theater 3000 fame.  He's not being serious.

I liked Bacon Shame (http://blog.rifftrax.com/2009/02/07/true-tale-of-bacon-shame/), a bacon month blog entry by Mike - heartwarming.
