Man Pays For Cross-Country Trip Using Bacon As Currency

An anonymous reader writes in with a story about the power of bacon."Travel can be expensive. One man is using a unique way to pay for a trip as a challenge. Pennsylvania comedian Josh Sankey is on a mission to make a cross-country road trip from New York to Los Angeles with no other currency but bacon. Sankey isn't carrying any cash or credit cards as he makes his cross-country trip. He is paying for everything from gas to lodging by using uncooked bacon as currency. He set off on his trip with 3,000 pounds of the popular meat and he seems to be getting good deals with it so far."

So, a type of food notorious for the human rights abuses it's farming causes (and the amount of sugar and fat), fat, fat and a food that has animal abuse as a core part of it's production (and is full of fat)?
No wonder you'd need to eat vegetables to feel better about yourself. Or for that matter, to stop your stomach from screaming out for help.
