As per the above checklist, the issues identified are:

• The lead needs to be rewritten. Significant information should not appear in the lead if it is not covered in the body.
• Fix layout and WTW.
• Is this link " http://www.webmd.com/food-recipes/features/can-bacon-be-part-of-a-healthy-diet" relevant to the article scope?

This article is a very promising GA nominee. I’m glad to see your work here. All the best, --Seabuckthorn ♥ 09:45, 22 January 2014 (UTC)

Hello! To address part of the second bullet (WTW), I changed the two instances of "noted" to "assessed" and "asserted," respectively. (Megatron Omega (talk) 06:55, 23 January 2014 (UTC))

I worked on the lead and hopefully resolved the issue by covering the preparation and focusing more less on the details of the awards. ChrisGualtieri (talk) 14:52, 23 January 2014 (UTC)

Good. --Seabuckthorn ♥ 17:01, 23 January 2014 (UTC)

OK, everything looks good now. Passing the article to GA status. --Seabuckthorn ♥ 17:01, 23 January 2014 (UTC)
