Bacon w/o oil glazes the pan too much, even constant scraping with a metal spatula doesn't keep off the brown sticky. In some recipe where I could deglase I wouldn't mind it, but in this case it was easier to just use oil.

I don't ignore health.

Bacon eaten frequently measurably increases your risk of colorectal cancer, probably due to the salt (or nitrate). But I don't eat it very often.

And diet patterns high in polyunsaturated fats significantly reduce all cause mortality. Many people are skeptical of canola oil due to the processing methods, but the health research hasn't picked up any health difference from chemically processed deoderized heated canola oil, and something like fresh mustard which is a very similar plant seed. So sure *maybe* canola oil is less healthy because of that, but apparently not by much.

Maybe all these studies are fooling me. Do your own research and choose your own belief system. I'm going to make my own conclusions about them. And if I die young from canola oil and I was wrong, oh well I'll be dead so I really won't care, will I?
