My wife and I took our two little ones and went to try the waffles and get a load of hash browns at a Waffle House in northern Phoenix. As we sat down at our table I looked over at the bar and noticed an extremely obese dude – greasy and sloppy – with a plate piled high with just bacon. I’m talking 40-50 slices...and they kept adding more.

He began to engage us in conversation and explained that he was on the Atkins diet.

I love bacon like any good man should, but that image won’t leave me.
