I find there are a lot of “myth-conceptions” about how pork is raised. As well as, some extremely wrong “facts” about the health factors associated with consuming meat. Since changing the world is a daunting task, a few years ago I decided to try to change just one person at a time. Someone I have great respect for once told me to, “be an army of one”. I took that advice and ran with it.    ### *My enemy?*  Anyone who knew nothing about the pork (or meat in general) industry, but had very strong opinions about it.  ### ***My goal? *** Make them engage at least once with someone who might be able to set them straight.  ### ***My weapon? *** My chest. That’s right, my scrawny hairy chest was *my* weapon of choice. I began to source shirts that bore messages that would force complete strangers to engage with me. This has been my favorite pastime. I wear these shirts everywhere I can, and the results have been fantastic. There have been some unintended results as well (my 5 year old nephew now calls me Uncle Bacon). However, in general, I have been able to get the message out. Rather than bore you with all the past interactions, I believe it’s time to share some history. I would like to share some of my favorite shirts, and some of the reactions that cropped from them.     ![Bacon Seeds](https://info.newstandard-group.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Bacon%20Seeds.png?width=500&name=Bacon%20Seeds.png) This was my first shirt, and is still one of my favorites. I had to order a second, after the first one wore out! I’ve been stopped well over a dozen times while wearing it, which gave plenty of opportunities to spread the message. ![Exercise](https://info.newstandard-group.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Exercise.jpeg?width=450&name=Exercise.jpeg)   Turning exercise into a reason to eat bacon…mind blown!   ![Wrong](https://info.newstandard-group.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Wrong.jpg?width=600&name=Wrong.jpg) OK, simple message. Right? Well I was actually once stopped and told that this shirt was racist. To be honest, I had no idea what they were talking about. They believed the message I was sending out was stating two of the world’s major religions were wrong. Who knew?!  I still wear it.    ![bacon reasons](https://info.newstandard-group.com/hs-fs/hubfs/bacon%20reasons.jpg?width=480&name=bacon%20reasons.jpg) And then I went out, and bought this one as well.     ![Star Wars](https://info.newstandard-group.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Star%20Wars.jpg?width=299&name=Star%20Wars.jpg)![Star Wars 2](https://info.newstandard-group.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Star%20Wars%202.jpg?width=309&name=Star%20Wars%202.jpg)![Dark side](https://info.newstandard-group.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Dark%20side.jpg?width=237&name=Dark%20side.jpg)   These  three were to please my inner Star Wars geek (Trekkies are weird).   ![periodic](https://info.newstandard-group.com/hs-fs/hubfs/periodic.jpg?width=571&name=periodic.jpg) The hidden message here is to enjoy bacon periodically (very few people get that one).   ![Pair](https://info.newstandard-group.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Pair.jpg?width=676&name=Pair.jpg)   My wife refused to wear hers out in public. Thankfully, my daughter was more than willing to be my partner on this one.   ![reason-1](https://info.newstandard-group.com/hs-fs/hubfs/reason-1.jpg?width=630&name=reason-1.jpg)   Plus, I almost choked on a carrot once. But mainly bacon.   ![support](https://info.newstandard-group.com/hs-fs/hubfs/support.jpg?width=496&name=support.jpg)   Everyone needs a cause they can get behind.     ![body](https://info.newstandard-group.com/hs-fs/hubfs/body.jpg?width=520&name=body.jpg) And it shows.     ![look](https://info.newstandard-group.com/hs-fs/hubfs/look.jpg?width=516&name=look.jpg) Hey, a guy can dream.     ![anti depressant](https://info.newstandard-group.com/hs-fs/hubfs/anti%20depressant.jpg?width=571&name=anti%20depressant.jpg) Eat some bacon and try not to smile.     ![Rubbed](https://info.newstandard-group.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Rubbed.jpg?width=526&name=Rubbed.jpg)   This is not dirty, so get your mind out of the gutter. It’s just a statement about some of my favorite ways to prepare pork.   ![Butts](https://info.newstandard-group.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Butts.jpg?width=560&name=Butts.jpg) Try not to sing these lyrics next time the song comes on the radio.   ![Meat](https://info.newstandard-group.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Meat.jpg?width=423&name=Meat.jpg) When you order online enough times, the web suggest items in the same category that you didn't know existed. This one came up through my scrolling, and I had to order it. The first time I wore this to the local butcher shop, he almost choked he was laughing so hard. It continues to get great reactions.   ---   Like these?
