Obsessed With Bacon

   I must say, I have o special affinity towards bacon. Maybe that was the reason why this text seemed so stupid and ridiculous.
   Here's a link: Bacon Stockings.

     As a society, we’re obsessed with bacon.
     If it isn’t bacon-flavored, it looks like bacon.
     I’ve seen a bacon-patterned knit scarf. It’s like wrapping a slice of bacon around your neck.
     And I know a fashion designer who is making photograph-sourced bacon stockings.
     They have the all striations and [marbleization] of natural bacon, very lifelike.
     And very creepy.
     But, if you think about it, it’s a lot more sanitary than using real bacon on your legs.
     Sure, the grease will help them stick, but once a stray dog catches the scent, you’re going to get chased all the way home.

   First of all: who is he to say that the whole society is obsessed with it? Maybe he is, but he shouldn't generalize. Plus, there are many things that neither taste nor look like bacon. It's a good thing that the author doesn't specify what is or isn't. It leaves space for the reader to interpret the statement and set his/her own perception of things and their extent of relatedness to bacon.

   A little about the text itself.

• His sentences are simple. 
• He appears amazed. 
• The tone is very informal, as if he's talking to a friend. 
• It might seem as if he appeals to ethos, since he uses "we" when speaking of the society, indicating that he's a part of it.
• Occasion? - he was probably hungry for bacon, or just had some!

   Now "enjoy"! Here's what he means by bacon-patterned scarf: 

  

Stockings, however, I couldn't find.
