      There is a reason why BACON is everywhere on IT stuff and Geek stuff :P. Hipsters/Geek wanna be's are Vegetarians. True geeks are not 😛

      EXACTLY!

        @Minion-Queen True geeks have a diet of bacon and Mt. Dew. Or at least 95% of the time...

          It's funny... I can't drink Mt. Dew and I like bacon but not as ravenously as many IT Pros. That being said it appears I am no true geek.

              Exactly! I don't drink Mt. Dew like I used to, but I still drink it. And I LOVE bacon, although I don't eat it very often...

                    I'm not a big fan of meat-free anything... I just haven't seen anything get the texture right... Although when I worked at a school the head of food services made a meat-less dinner for everyone one night... it was interesting and generally the flavors are pretty close, just can't get past the texture.

                    I would prefer a good ground sausage with my eggs in the morning... but the fiance likes bacon so that's what we eat.

                      Key word being fake. I thought that's what we gave kids to play with when they were teething...it's made of plastic, right? 😛

                        Eating it straight, I prefer bacon, IF it's crispy. Like, you put your lips together on it it snaps in half it's so crispy. I prefer sausage for breakfast sandwiches, etc, because it bites easier and I prefer the flavor.

                          Yep, bacon is only good when it is basically burnt...

                                Also, by "heaviest", I'm not sure whether you mean the most vegetarians, or that vegetarians in Dallas weigh more than elsewhere.

                                    IT has one of the highest number of professionals that come from religious and ethnically vegetarian backgrounds. Dallas has one of the highest populations of those groups in IT. Dallas is specifically a very high, religiously vegetarian area for IT professionals.

                                      Do you have statistics or something to back this up? This just doesn't line up with the IT field in general...

                                        I've seen stats, yes. And it does line up with IT in general. What makes you think otherwise? What stats have you collected and what IT exposure do you have to make such a claim?

                                          Dallas (Plano) comes in #2 in the nation for Indian population (this is likely stats from before the huge boom in the Irving Indian population.) NJ and Dallas are well known for the large influence of Indian populations. Most of which are there for the IT sector, Dallas especially as thousands were relocated there from the NYC and NJ areas as part of corporate IT changes.

                                            Plenty of people in those demographics eat meat. Indian people may not eat beef, if they're Hindu, but AFAIK pork, such as bacon, sausage, and ham, aren't an issue. Or turkey. That stat doesn't really mean much...
