Gotta love bacon

I'm not a scientist, nor do I go to Holiday Express's. I only know of three basic scientific laws.

The Law of Gravity

The Law of Relativity

and

The Law of Bacon; it makes everything taste good.

Now there's a medicinal purpose for bacon......

Researchers claim food also speeds up the metabolism helping the body get rid of the booze more quickly.

Elin Roberts, of Newcastle University's Centre for Life said: "Food doesn't soak up the alcohol but it does increase your metabolism helping you deal with the after-effects of over indulgence. So food will often help you feel better.

"Bread is high in carbohydrates and bacon is full of protein, which breaks down into amino acids. Your body needs these amino acids, so eating them will make you feel good."

Ms Roberts told The Mirror: "Bingeing on alcohol depletes neurotransmitters too, but bacon contains a high level of aminos which tops these up, giving you a clearer head."

Researchers also found a complex chemical interaction in the cooking of bacon produces the winning combination of taste and smell which is almost irresistible.

I'm starting to get that Homer Simpson drool thing going just reading this....

In fact, I think we should replace the five basic food groups we teach kids in school with the following.

Bread - Donuts
Vegetables - Pizza
Dairy - Cheesecake
Meat - Bacon
Fruit - Beer

Eat that diet, and you'll be every bit as slim and trim as 'ole Gordon here.
