glorification
of bacon, a meat, sends the
wrong message to fans
I live near Savannah, Georgia.
The home of the Savannah Bananas.
A minor league baseball that used to play in a league with the Tri City Chili Peppers and the Lexington County Blowfish and the Macon Bacon.
But the Macon Bacon are under attack.
For their name and the ‘glorification of a processed meat.
According to the article, Doctors urge ‘Macon Bacon’ baseball team change its name: ‘You wouldn’t have Team Asbestos’ by Victoria Bekiempis in the Guardian:
“Macon Bacon’s glorification of bacon, a processed meat that raises the risk of colorectal cancer and other diseases, sends the wrong message to fans,” the committee nutrition leader Anna Herby reportedly wrote to team president Brandon Raphael. “I urge you to update the team’s name to Macon Facon Bacon and promote plant-based bacon alternatives, such as Facon Bacon or Mushroom Bacon, that will help your fans stay healthy. As for Kevin, Macon Bacon’s mascot, he can reveal that he is actually plant-based bacon.”
Bacon, black coffee and unfiltered cigarettes had as much to do with the building of this country as did the writings of Thomas Jefferson.
But now it is under attack.
Some folks with just too much time on their hands.
