The group is called BACON, an acronym for “Best All-around Club of Nerds”. They have a long way to go, yet. Come on, who doesn’t love bacon?

Vegetarians.
I may not like bacon, but I am fond of nerds.Report
Oddly enough, I know a bunch of people who eat no meat except bacon.
Still, point taken. Vegetarian assistance is welcome!
