The Iowa House has declared Feb. 26 Bacon Day in honor of “nature’s perfect food.”
Here’s the full text of House Resolution 15:
A Resolution recognizing February 26, 2011, as Iowa Bacon Day.
WHEREAS, the people of Maine have lobster, the people of Idaho grow great potatoes, and the folks of Texas make great chili, we Iowans have bacon —— nature’s perfect food; and
WHEREAS, whether plain or apple-wood smoked, whether store-bought or artisan-made, bacon is a meat for any meal; and
WHEREAS, as America’s top pork producer, Iowa stands tall as the nation’s source of high-quality bacon; and

NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES, That the House of Representatives recognizes February 26, 2011, as Iowa Bacon Day and invites all Iowans to take part in the festival and to celebrate bacon.
You do realize that this very act is extremely offensive to Muslims?
Especially since it takes place only one day after the date celebrated by some Shi’ite Muslims as the birthday of the Prophet Mohamed.
You may have to have this act retracted.
Now on to MY opinion… BACON! Bacon! Baconbaconbaconbacon! I SMELL BACON!
My 5 year old GRANDSON agrees with BigSoph “BACON! BACON! Baconbaconbaconbacon! I SMELL BACON!
If the Muslims are so extremely offended by our countries traditions foods, fashion, religion,and holidays then I don’t understand why they just don’t go back to their homeland. With all the mass media available they knew what we stood for before they got here.
You people need to get a clue. While your politions have been playing “lets make a holiday for fat back” People in your state, and all others are facing insurmountable obstacles just trying to survive. Get off you legislative asses, and help your people. Be sure to send all of those unemployed, and fiscally ruined people some of that pork.
It’s not easy for a state to be the top dog in a farm product, but I do believe that Ohio is number in the nation in the production of Swiss cheese. The House of Representatives of the state of Ohio should a day in honor of Swiss cheese.
Ohio ought to have a day celebrating a farm product just as Iowa has. I have heard that Ohio is number one in the Union in the production of Swiss cheese. So Ohio should have a day celebrating Swiss cheese.
Oh, Debra, lighten up; maybe it’s not they who need to get a clue. It’s not as if this is the only legislation the “politions” (usually spelled “politicians”) are working on, and what’s wrong with doing something that costs nothing and gives people a smile? Did you know that attendance at movies actually INCREASED during the Great Depression? Even though people were broke, they understood the benefits of doing something fun. Life doesn’t have to be all gloom-and-doom, even when times are tough.
Oh, there’s nothing half-way about the Iowa way to treat you if we eat you which we may not do at all!
There’s an Iowa kind, a special pork shoulder attitude we’ve never been without that we recall.
We can be cold to someone hawking All-beef products at a ball game, but then warm to his pork hot dogs the next day like it’s July.
But what the heck, try spare ribs, try pork loin or pork sausage, even though you’re vegan it can’t hurt to have a try, you really ought to give Iowa, home of pork Iowa: pigs feet, spare ribs, browned ham steak, Italian sausage, baby back ribs, pork sausage, ham, pig tails! You ought to give Iowa pork a try!

This is not the Middle East, so who cares what Muslims think about it. You can’t live life trying to cater to everyone’s little wish and whim. Get over it.
We all know the egg is nature’s pefect food.
This is, simply put, the most awesome day ever. Might have to move to Iowa…
