Who says we can’t have sausage with our pancakes
Dick Yarbrough
Here we go again. The pointy-heads at WHO, the World Health Organization, apparently have decided that trying to shame us into not eating bacon and sausage and ham isn’t good enough. Now, they are going after (shudder) trans fats. Good luck with that. You may recall that back in 2015, the World Health Organization, which is a part of the United Nations, which has all the relevance of a buggy whip, suggested we quit eating porcine parts. This, of course, sent shock waves throughout the South. I mean if the Whooters don’t want us eating fried bacon with our syrup-soaked pancakes, who are we to argue? (“J.W., you ain’t getting bacon this morning. I just read where some real important folks over there in Sweden or Switzerland or one of them places where they yodel a lot says bacon ain’t good for you. So, I am going to deep-fry some possum for breakfast. I ain’t heard them mention possum yet.”)
