Bacon - Nature's Perfect Fruit?

While in line at McDonald's at Chicago's O'Hare Airport, the Spouse and I witnessed the following exchange.  The people involved were a young cashier and an unhappy customer of Indian descent.

Customer:  (holding an uneaten salad in his hand)  I wanted a salad without any meat.  This has meat in it.

Cashier:  That's not meat.  That's just bacon.

Yep, that's what she said. The customer, after a second or two of stunned silence, decided that it was going to be necessary to state the obvious.

Customer:  Bacon is meat.  I can't eat meat.

Cashier:  (in an irritated tone) So ... does that mean you don't want the bacon?

It almost makes waiting at O'Hare worthwhile...

Practically Speaking   

Funny, Roxanne! The cashier must have gone to the same school of nutrition as my men. They try to convince me that meat is previously enjoyed vegetables.

And McDonald's uses the real thing - not the pressed vege version that's supposed to be bacon like some people have.

(PS Kyle, the men are right!)
