When PETA dared to challenge bacon lovers to defend the product, things went about as expected.
The animal rights organization asked Twitter users to share why they eat bacon in a tweet on Wednesday.
Present your best argument for eating bacon.
— PETA (@peta) June 28, 2017
Bacon lovers obliged and responses poured in. None, however, seemed to top one from Sen. Orrin Hatch.

How can you top the American flag?
Hatch’s office wasn’t done and shared a few more pro-bacon tweets from the Utah Republican.

Hatch didn’t miss a beat when one Twitter user had a less than enthusiastic response to his photo.

And while Hatch seemed to win the internet with his ode to bacon, he was not alone. PETA’s attempt at bacon shaming may have backfired as the countless tweets probably sent more people in search of yummy bacon goodness instead.
Senator Hatch, we don’t agree much, but bacon has bipartisan support. Ha!

It never lies to me. Ever. About anything.

Hell yes Hatch.

2 million years of evolution has resulted in humans thinking bacon smells and tastes delicious. Trust the process. https://t.co/tjGovs5A4c

Bacon unites people of all stripes, backgrounds, and socio-economic standings. https://t.co/aHkPj719EZ

I think the worst argument for eating bacon is still better than the best argument not to eat bacon.
— Ben Conard (@Iamnotahumanben) June 28, 2017
I hurts to agree with you. Your politics are beyond barbaric and self centered, but bacon is good.

Hatch’s social media staffer is the best!

Hats off Senator, you win twitter today.
