I saw someone talk about wanting to do an ad comparing Chiropractic to Bacon using an AI generated image that looked... Very AI...
But... I remembered an article that I wrote back in 2019 and reconsidered my critique of the ad...

Bacon, Butter and Garlicโฆ
Have you ever watched the Food Network cooking shows? Thereโs one thing that Bacon, Butter and Garlic have in common. People begin to Cheer and Applaud whenever the host adds Bacon, Butter or Garlic to the dish theyโre cooking. Theyโre three ingredients that only get more applause the more the host adds to the dish. Those foods donโt just taste good, theyโre good for the SOUL.
Remember Emeril? Any time he brought out the ๐๐๐ซ๐ฅ๐ข๐ the live audience went NUTS! He played to the crowd and doubled the amount in the recipe and the crowd went twice as crazy.
Remember Paula Brown? She would start every recipe with two sticks of ๐๐ฎ๐ญ๐ญ๐๐ซ and then add in another stick for good measure because people LOVE butter.
And well, ๐๐๐๐จ๐ง, it could be any chef making any dish and if they mention the recipe called for Bacon, thereโs no way youโre turning the channel. Youโve gotta see what theyโre makinโ with Bacon.
Heck, Iโm a vegan and the only non-vegetable I will eat without blinking an eye is Bacon. Once I tried to juice bacon, convinced that it was a vegetable and people had it all wrong.

Turkey or veggie bacon is FAKE and will not only turn people off but it will elicit BOOโs from the crowd. Bacon is Bacon and it need not be messed with and there is NO SUBSTITUTE for it. The same goes for Butter. Margarine is one molecule away from plastic. It may look like Butter but itโs not the same and it doesnโt get the applause that Butter has rightfully earned. Garlic is the same way. Break open a clove of fresh garlic and mince it then spread it over ANYTHING and it tastes greatโฆpasta, buttered bread, potatoes, etc. etc., anythingโฆ everything tastes better with garlic smeared over it. But, garlic powder and that old garlic in the jar floating in bad oil or any other substitute IS NOT THE SAME!

The TORs that just Detect and Correct Subluxations ONLY seem to be the busiest TORs on the planet. Their patients seem to be the happiest and they love Chiroprac-TIC and their Chiroprac-TOR. ๐๐๐จ๐ฉ๐ฅ๐ ๐๐ซ๐ ๐๐ซ๐๐ฐ๐ง ๐ญ๐จ ๐ญ๐ก๐ ๐ญ๐ซ๐ฎ๐ญ๐ก ๐จ๐ ๐๐๐ ๐ข๐ง๐ง๐๐ญ๐๐ฅ๐ฒ ๐ฅ๐ข๐ค๐ ๐ญ๐ก๐๐ฒ ๐๐ซ๐ ๐๐ซ๐๐ฐ๐ง ๐ญ๐จ ๐๐๐๐จ๐ง, ๐๐ฎ๐ญ๐ญ๐๐ซ ๐๐ง๐ ๐๐๐ซ๐ฅ๐ข๐ ๐๐๐๐๐ฎ๐ฌ๐ ๐๐ญ๐ซ๐๐ข๐ ๐ก๐ญ, ๐๐ง๐ฆ๐ข๐ฑ๐๐ ๐๐ก๐ข๐ซ๐จ๐ฉ๐ซ๐๐-๐๐๐ ๐ข๐ฌ๐งโ๐ญ ๐ฃ๐ฎ๐ฌ๐ญ ๐ ๐จ๐จ๐ ๐๐จ๐ซ ๐ญ๐ก๐๐ข๐ซ ๐๐๐๐ฅ๐ญ๐ก ๐๐ฎ๐ญ ๐ข๐ญโ๐ฌ ๐ ๐จ๐จ๐ ๐๐จ๐ซ ๐ญ๐ก๐๐ข๐ซ ๐๐๐๐ ๐ฃ๐ฎ๐ฌ๐ญ ๐ฅ๐ข๐ค๐ ๐ญ๐ก๐จ๐ฌ๐ ๐๐จ๐จ๐๐ฌ ๐๐ซ๐.
BUT, if you add anything to Chiropractic or take anything away from Chiropractic, itโs no longer Chiroprac-TIC and it becomes like Turkey Bacon or Veggie Bacon, Margarine and that disgusting minced Garlic in the glass jar of bad old rancid oil. The Chiropractor might be trying to pass it off as TIC because it looks similar but mixing just doesnโt have the same benefit of Straight, Unadulterated TIC.
The things Chiropractors mix into TIC might have some therapeutic value but they are not TIC and they only serve to dilute TIC and thereby dilute peopleโs enthusiasm of TIC.
The time has come, in a profession that has considered โexpanding our scope of practiceโ, to consider Limiting our scope of practice just to Pure, Unadulterated, Chiroprac-TIC.
Itโs time to go back to our roots and just Detect and Correct Subluxations with a Specific, Scientific Adjustment.
Itโs time to go back to doing only what makes our profession separate and distinct instead of trying to duplicate the services of other professions and Mix them into Chiropractic.

(PS- I still stand by these statements in 2026 with one caveat, I'm no longer a vegan and I love real, grass fed, grass finished, organically fed, locally raised meats. That brings the meats AND BACON to a whole new level.)
