Macon Bacon, collegiate summer league baseball team, faces call to change name over 'glorification of bacon'

The Macon Bacon have play in the Coastal Plain League


A physicians group in Georgia put up a billboard targeting the fans of the Macon Bacon, a collegiate summer league baseball team, and wrote a letter to the team’s president.

The Physicians Committee of Responsible Medicine’s billboard is located on Interstate 16 and asks fans to "keep bacon off your plate." The group also sent a letter to team president Brandon Raphael accusing the organization of glorifying the meat.

"Macon Bacon’s glorification of bacon, a processed meat that raises the risk of colorectal cancer and other diseases, sends the wrong message to fans," the letter from nutrition education program manager Anna Herby, DHSc, RD, CDCES, to Raphael read. "I urge you to update the team’s name to Macon Facon Bacon and promote plant-based bacon alternatives, such as Facon Bacon or Mushroom Bacon, that will help your fans stay healthy. As for Kevin, Macon Bacon’s mascot, he can reveal that he is actually plant-based bacon."

These Doctors bad mouthing Bacon are the same ones telling us to get a shot that is unapproved and worthless.
Worse than worthless.

I saw that video many years ago, and it kind of amuses me. I especially liked the part where the so-called "expert" whose idea it was ended up with a large chunk of blubber smashing down on the roof of his car. Allegedly.
