They are fit to be fried.

An advocacy group rented out a billboard to demand Macon, Georgia’s collegiate baseball team change its “Macon Bacon” moniker to stop the “glorification of Bacon.”

The group behind the sign on Interstate 16 near the Macon Centreplex — which reads “keep bacon off your plate” — is not animal rights activists but rather a medical organization, the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine.

The Washington, DC-based committee penned a letter to team President Brandon Raphael demanding he change the fan-named Macon Bacons to the “Macon Facon Bacons” in honor of a plant-based alternative to the breakfast meat.

“Macon Bacon’s glorification of bacon, a processed meat that raises the risk of colorectal cancer and other diseases, sends the wrong message to fans,” Anna Herby, nutrition education program manager for the committee, wrote.

Herby even requested a rebranding of the team’s mascot Kevin, a piece of bacon with a face, arms and legs who wears a frying pan as a hat.

“I urge you to update the team’s name to Macon Facon Bacon and promote plant-based bacon alternatives, such as Facon Bacon or Mushroom Bacon, that will help your fans stay healthy,” she wrote.

“As for Kevin, Macon Bacon’s mascot, he can reveal that he is actually plant-based bacon.”

The letter cites data that links the consumption of processed meats like bacon to an increased risk of colorectal cancer.

“Just 50 grams of processed meat — a few slices of bacon — consumed daily increases colorectal cancer risk by 18%,” Herby said in the correspondence.

Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine then slammed the Macon Bacon’s food offerings at its baseball stadium.

“To help fight cancer and cardiovascular disease in your community, you should encourage fans to consume delicious, healthful plant-based foods instead of menu items like 6 Degrees of Kevin Bacon, Bacon Wrapped Bacon, Steak Cut Bacon, Bacon Cheeseburger, Bacon Dog, Bacon Loaded Cheese Fries, Bacon Loaded Mac N Cheese, and Bacon Chips,” the letter states.

Macon Bacon President Raphael said he has no intention to change the team name in a statement to local station WGXA News.

“We take great pride in the Macon Bacon naming rights (which our fans named), as we get to witness the smiles and laughter from our fan base – who have supported our branding since our inception — that stems from the brand’s lighthearted and playful nature,” Raphael said.

“We are a family-friendly organization and we are extremely grateful for our fans.”

He denied that the team name glorifies an unhealthy lifestyle and added that the concessions stand offers a number of other menu items, including a plant-based option in addition to bacon-based offerings.

“With that, the Macon Bacon will be sizzling forever and will not consider a name change. Ever,” Raphael concluded.
