If you smell like bacon, maybe... but in general not bringing food or other smelly stuff (even toothpaste) into your tent is a good idea. No sense attracting a bear or _any_ other wildlife. I once had a snack in a bag and was called to go do something on a canoe trip. I tossed it into my tent, zipped the door and went to the others. 'Bout a half hour later, I returned to my snack to find it seriously nibbled and a chipmunk-sized hole in the size of my tent. If you don't care about your life but still value your gear, don't put food in your tent. Ever. Clean campsite rules.
