The Macon Bacon have been asked to change their name.
 
This falls into the category of "Mind Your Own Business".

(Dear Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine - it's supposed to be fun, and it's also a slightly blue double entendré from way back in the day.)

" The Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine, which describes itself as an animal liberation research and advocacy organization.... "

Well, I guess I don't need to read any further into that article :rolleyes:

If " The Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine, which describes itself as an animal liberation research and advocacy organization.... " wasn't a red flag, the link going to CNN should have killed any home of a legitimate concern.

When will the Macon Bacon baseball team change its name?

When pigs fly, according to the central Georgia team’s response to a group of plant-based activists urging them to stop promoting a meat that studies have shown has health risks.
Good for them! Thank goodness the name wasn't "Macon Bacon with an Injun" or something.

If nobody ate bacon there would be no pigs.

Have you noticed that only religions that think martyrdom is a good idea prohibit bacon?

I’m convinced it’s the source of all happiness.

Find someone that eats bacon that wants to strap on a c4 vest to kill themselves and others because it’ll be better next go around. I’ll wait…

Um. Jewish people don’t eat bacon.

The analogy holds. Milkhemet Mitzvah? Anyone killed fighting is a martyr…

Ok - your counter will likely be the crusades - and that’s fair, but I still maintain people that eat bacon regularly are way happier than those that don’t, and they don’t want to off themselves for the promise of a do-over with a level-up…

I wasn’t focused on martyrdom. History is full of them.

It was your reference to the C4 vest.

If you go back and look at what I wrote, I asserted that all people that do eat bacon won’t be willing to make it so they can’t eat bacon.

I’m still good with that statement.

I read the title and thought "That's a good idea, changing the name from Macron, that little bastard in France, to something nicer. Maybe shoulder bacon, or crispy bacon. Yep, Crispy Bacon.

When I was a little boy I had a school holiday job working in a bacon factory feeding the pigs. If I fell over I'd have been their next meal. Next meal in .5 of a second. So I have no qualms about eating them instead.
