Expired bacon. Should I eat it?
So we bought bacon yesterday and it was expired since the 29th of October. We will bake it. Is it still okay to eat it baked?
edit: my mom bought new bacon that is not expired yet and is currently cooking it, and we actually won't cook the previous one, but I would still appreciate it if you answer my question!

You are not totally wrong.
People can suffer from eating meat if they take pleasure in it and/or waste it by eating it instead of feeding others.
Buddhism is basically not supporting sufferance but accepting it. For example, people believe Buddhists are vegetarians because eating meat would be taking advantage of other sentient being's lives. That is only a small part. You can expand that concept to see the real Buddhism.
If I take pleasure in being in a beautiful house, while its creation needed the sacrifice of bugs' lives, that is wrong.
Bad deeds bring bad karma and vice versa. We Buddhists believe in the law of karma as a natural law!
Hope you have a good day, friend!
edit: being vegetarian is a misconception of Buddhism, but I respect it!
edit2: meat can make us suffer because it stimulates us and we Buddhists believe that it may contain bad karma that affects us. I believe it is only the case if we take pleasure in it, because it would mean that we support the fact that the pig, for example, sinned until we eat it, and if he had not sinned, he might not have been eaten by me.
On the other hand, if we don't take pleasure in it, we don't support its bad karma that leads it to its death by me.

You ate the bacon already, late reply...
@LazyLazyLazy
You can be a meat or pig eater while being a Buddhist. Being vegetarian is not Buddhism, if that's what you think. Buddhism is about attaining enlightenment and reduce sufferance.
Buddhism was founded by the Buddha, a meat eater. Rather than not eating the bacon, it is best that it's life be used to at least help someone, rather than dying for nothing!
Do you want enlightenment and want to reduce sufferance?
All bacon is good bacon.
just try a piece... what's the worst that can happen? spend a while on the toilet?
That bacon is most likely not safe to eat :> but be special like erybody else and eat it.
i didn't expect you to eat bacon since you're "buddhist". you never watched pigs in slaughterhouse videos. go eat it or let bacteria eat it

/endthread
smell it, look at it
if it smells and looks fine, you should be fine
@ApplesAreOkay
yeah.
Bacon is like sex. Even when it's bad it's still good.
do you keep your bacon frozen
bc I do
If it looks good, smells good, and feels good...eat it.
Eh, why not.
It's bacon of course. You always gotta try to eat it.
Though, if it smells gross after its baked do not eat it.
If it smelled/tasted like good ol' bacon, i would continue eating.
