This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.
Important notes on articles:
- Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
- Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
- If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

On bacon and eggs by manofdillon
I'm not a doctor, but I think the link between cholesterol in food and high blood cholesterol has been pretty well debunked. See the link. I'm not sure about bacon (other than that it's delicious), but I think the current wisdom on eggs is that they're pretty awesome for you and you shouldn't worry about eating them as often as you'd like, even if you have high cholesterol.
Also, for a more filling, healthy breakfast option, I like a cup of plain Greek yogurt (I prefer whole milk, but 2% is okay, fat-free is gross) with some fresh berries, and something healthy to add some texture (flax seed, slivered almonds). Its quick if you have all of the ingredients on hand, high in protein and good fats, and a lot more filling than something more carb-heavy (like toast or cereal).
