Some people love it to death.

I gotta say, the idea of salted fatty pig flesh fried up greasy in a pan doesn't do it for me. I'm not a vegetarian, either.

I do enjoy the taste every now and then in small doses, but generally it's a huge turnoff. And the more people obsess over it, the more it repulses me.

After seeing "Food Inc" Im pretty much done with bacon. Eveytime I see it I just think of sweet live pigs crammed into a trash compactor. Smithfield is the devil and I'm glad Paula Deen got hit with a ham. Poetic justice.

It's the SMELL that gets to me, yuck! Feel that way about popcorn too.

I still believe he wrote Hamlet, Macbeth and Romeo and Juliet. He was robbed by that Shakespeare dude, I tell ya, robbed.

Would the residents of the East Village rather smell the urine and vomit from the drug addicts that used to hang out there?

Yes, they would, because those are the two options.

my theory, along with Guare, is that we all are connected to bacon by six degrees or less.

I remember when I lived on 6th Ave and 14th street my bedroom window faced Burger Kings roof. The smell of cooking fries was delicious for the first 3 hours I lived there. After that it became nauseating! I learned to be able to tell when Burger King changed their oil. It wasn't very often, let me tell you!
Likewise when I live directly across from Sevilla restaraunt in the West Village. The smell of paella quickly became a thing of dread.

Actually, now they can smell both because really, who else goes to eat at IHOP in the East Village?

The excess smell of anything can be nauseating after awhile. I had to skip out on a tour of the M&M plant when my dad worked for the company because the chocolate & peanut smell made me sick. I even hated it when we drove into that area and you could smell it.

I worked at a dinner theater in Wisconsin. Our two neighbors were a factory that made onion rings and a sausage plant. Some days you'd come to work and people would be standing outside gulping down the smell of those onion rings. Then the wind would change direction to a breeze off the hog pens and people would start throwing up.

Are you sure that wasn't caused by Morton Downey, Jr.'s performance in The King & I?

The other annoying thing is that food smells actually rouse people from sleep.

Many years ago I lived over a restaurant and I would wake in the morning to all those wonderful smells of breakfast cooking.

Sadly none of them were for me. It would also really annoy me when I wanted to sleep in and couldn't because the smells were overstimulating my senses.

though Downey in KING & I was compelling, i preferred JEFFREY ANDERSON IS WILLY LOMAN....

Yea, first the gays, then bacon...

This new bacon push is really interesting. Not that I mind because I just love pork products in general. I prefer sausage to bacon, actually. Bob Evans and Jimmy Dean are like family to me.

and here i thought you'd prefer Polish Keilbasa or a nice spicy chorizo...or perhaps the BBQ links at Goodes?

I've been to the East Village IHOP after a night of drinking (as the article says, there's nothing better when you're drunk than pancakes), and I didn't smell any bacon inside or outside, and I'm pretty adverse to the smell. Maybe it was the alcohol, though... I'll have to return for my Lorax pancakes... Nomnomnom.

To answer the question, my guess would be the pig population.
