Right-wing meat lovers turned to Twitter Monday to express fears that a World Health Organization report linking bacon and other processed meats to cancer was nothing more than a vast, evil, Islamic conspiracy. Because clearly the road to global domination is paved with Halal foods.
What better way for #UnitedNations pimps for Islam to sneak toward Caliphate than attack Bacon (pork) as unhealthy. https://t.co/WKeOg6OyJJ

Bacon to be classified as dangerous as asbestos by World Health Organization https://t.co/9qcgntJRkk
I’m a cynic. Is news that bacon is a potential carcinogen true or is it merely more evidence that Barack HUSSEIN Obama is a closeted Muslim?

But in all this hoopla, did anyone hit upon the simplest explanation for the WHO’s report? Seems to us that the group that stands to gain most from it are pigs themselves. So brace yourself for a swine coup in the near future: If you’ve read Animal Farm, then you know what’s coming.
