It's better than denying the evidence and claiming it's a global conspiracy.
Understanding the risks is important, but you literally can't live your life avoiding everything that could cause harm to you. It's about picking your battles.
In this article, it's the nitrates, not the bacon itself. Next time I go to Costco I'll take a look and see if there are options with no or fewer nitrates.

With that said, you could think of replacing the bacon with some other ingrediant except for, say, Fridays. Still very routine, maybe a bit healthier, and then a sweet, sweet reward of bacon for making it through the week.
