Avocado is rich in healthy mono-unsaturated fatty acids. Avocado helps lower your levels of LDL, “bad” cholesterol. The American Heart Association approves of one a day. Bacon pieces are crispy cholesterol bombs. They are high in unhealthy saturated fat and should be treated as an occasional indulgence, not a daily staple.
I love bacon and would only eat an avocado if a gun was pressed to my temple with a larger caliber than a 22. Don’t be offended, but give me a shorter lifespan during which I can exclude avocado and include more bacon.
What’s the point? It is the Apostle Paul struggling with the thing that plagues every Christian who is honest with himself:
Romans 7:19
For the good that I will to do, I do not do; but the evil I will not to do, that I practice.
I know; I know. He’s not talking about bacon because as a Pharisee he would never have tasted bacon. However, if he had, it would have included a battle with bacon.
The apostle is discussing the difficult time that everyone of us has with doing the right thing.
How about you? Still struggling between avocado or bacon?
Give it some thought.
