Back bacon (aka "Canadian" bacon) has proven benefits for a variety of medical conditions, such as anorexia.
Back bacon has been used by many, including prominent politicians. I find it hard to believe the claims that "I experimented with Canadian bacon when I was young. I chewed, but did not swallow!"
Back bacon does not necessarily lead to abuse of other substances. I know many people who use back bacon, and have never gone on to putting gravy on french fries, or the ultimate addiction, poutine.
It is pointless to try to prohibit the personal use of back bacon. All attempts at training dogs to sniff out hidden caches of back bacon have resulted in failure, since the dogs tend to eat the evidence.
Granted, eating a back bacon sandwich can impair one's ability to drive. As a result, back bacon should not be sold at drive-thru restaurants.
Back bacon should not be given to children, at least until they are old enough to have teeth.
Closing the borders in an attempt to prevent the flow of back bacon into the USofA is pointless, since there are already many producers of back bacon in it's raw form right in the USofA.
