Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for March 30, 2015

The seven basic food groups in my world: salt, grease, sugar, chocolate, nicotine, caffeine and alcohol. Choose any six. And it’s good to see that Rat and I agree on at least one of them.

Rat, what’s wrong with you? You left out pizza!

Colonel Tom Kratman has this one covered.

Give the rat a break. He’s not finished yet. This is a work in progress. Goat merely asked to see what he had “so far.” Still to come are cakes & pies, chips and dips, consumable candy (chewing gum does not count; there are standards to uphold, after all.), pizza, & tacos.

Peanut butter is its own food group.

Why didn’t Rat put beer at the bottom? That’s a no-brainer.

as usual rat has got it all wrong…just put marijuana at the top and everything else will just come naturally

I’d be happy to take cigarettes out of the food pyramid and would certainly add pizza! Carry on with your brilliant scientific work-in-progress, Rat!

OK, so far nobody’s mentioned ICE CREAM.what’s wrong with you people?

The basis for a sound food pyramid should be the phonebook.TAKE AWAY IS MY LIFE…

Gin works for me!

I think half the people behind the wheel here in Tulsa are high on weed.

The first pyramid in no particular order; bacon, bacon and, bacon.Second list would be, again in no particular order, chocolate, chocolate and, chocolate. Dark chocolate, not milk chocolate

Aren’t cheese puffs a vegetable?

Donuts should be on the bottom of the pyramid!

Good news, thanks to the ACA I can be as unhealthy as I want due to my own desires and still pay the same amount for health insurance as the next person, hooray Rat…I like your idea.

3-5 servings a day? Maybe possible, maybe not. The USDA refuses to actually define what a serving is.

Cheese Puffs is the one that applies to me even though I don’t think we have them in the UK. If we do then they will have a different name.I never drink or smoke.

then there’s the criteria for food,in 2 categories, those things that are better with the addition of chocolate and those things that are better with garlic.

Have you ever noticed that bacon goes with almost everything; salsa goes with almost everything; but bacon and salsa together is just weird!

i feel the bacon on everything has reached saturation point please make it stop. also, bacon almost never tastes as good as it smells and looks.

Change cigarettes with bacon and that might work

I dont smoke it gives cancer
