Bacon
On the subject of bacon, Pruess contends that its popularity (bacon mania) is linked to the Atkins diet and South Beach diet regimens, which "gave dieters permission to indulge in fatty foods". "People are craving comfort, people are craving flavor, they're craving style," Pruess said. She's also noted that, "You need so little of it to add so much flavor." She suggests substituting bacon drippings for the oil or butter in the basic directions for popping corn. "Bacon is far more than a food. It is a happy state of mind. It excites people to the point where some aficionados liken it to illicit pleasures," she wrote.
