Seriously? Yes, I am surprised that a request for 'More Bacon' became 
'No Bacon' because, as far as I know, More and No are not synonyms.

Given we're talking about a topic as serious as food allergies, it's 
clear that if such a misunderstanding can happen in one direction it is 
plausible it could happen in the other and *that* should be of concern 
(which I believe Amanda addressed sufficiently), not merely dismissed as 
some crazy bacon fan simply being trollish.

The joys of poorly worded questions, free form data input and no sanity 
checks.

Anyways, I'm done.

Cheers,

Pete.
