@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.

But you do eat it. I can't drink Mt. Dew or most other pop either (allergies I am that dreaded all consuming can't eat anything geek). But I eat bacon!

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...

@scottalanmiller is just crazy.

I like fake bacon. The meat-free stuff from Morningstar.

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...

Yup, super crisp or just don't. My grandfather likes CHEWY bacon! EWWW!!!

IT, in general, is one of the heaviest vegetarian populations of any field and Dallas IT especially.
That's another one of your completely made-up "facts", isn't it?
-
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...

Some do. But strict Hindus are normally completely vegetarian. More vegetarian than the normal English usage. No fish. Some even no fungus. But all meat is generally off the table. Cheese and milk are normally okay (the idea that animals can't provide assistance in food in a purely modern, Western thing.)
That stat means a LOT. You have to learn when you have no exposure to the topic and drop it. You haven't worked in any large scale IT shop, you haven't had large exposure to south Asian cultures. On what basis do you make such claims? Indians are one of the largest racial groups in IT, period, this is common knowledge (this is for the US) and extremely common knowledge. This isn't some fringe knowledge that only I have. Anyone with exposure to IT shops of more than a handful of people are acutely aware of this (no, call centers are not IT shops, they are call centers.) And Indian populations, both Hindu and other, are often vegetarian - far moreso than any other population.
And no, Hindu is not the most likely to be vegetarian portion of the Indian population.
-
Stats on India proper put vegetarianism close to 40%+ of the total population. That's close to what I've seen having worked heavily in the top two Indian population regions in the US. Part of the issue is defining vegetarian as many studies rule out people who eat eggs, for example, which is a large percentage.
