What's the joke?

Below are comments made by members in a thread about an article. The article is about scientists discovering compact fluorescent lighting to be carcinogenic. I don't get the joke when one member comment about "don't eat bacon".

Thanks for the help.
person1:

So, save the planet, endanger your family. Is that the gist here?

You know, these CFLs are starting to remind me of those pharmaceutical commercials. The ones where they hawk their goods, but don't actually tell you what it's for, then they hit you with "possible side effects" (most of which would scare the daylights out of any sane human being).
person2: Anal leakage scares the shyte outta me...pun intended.

person1: Don't eat bacon.

person2: Why? I buy fresh bellies, cure and smoke them myself. No nitrates. The hardest part was finding papers big enough and wouldn't soak up all the grease.

Bacon can be extremely high in fat, and foods which contain much fat can cause dia(o)rrhea. I think this is why person 1 says what he does. If someone is prone to **** leakage and/or to diarrhea due to rich foods, they simply shouldn't eat bacon (or at least not the fatty variety).
