Makin' Bacon

Come on, you know you want to watch it, "How It's Made: Bacon":

That's some awesome background music, I must say. Good to know they check for pieces of metal which might have fallen onto the pork bellies.

As a pork-farmers' son turned vegetarian, I have to say: That's a pretty evasive description of how bacon is "made". I made bacon myself as a kid and teenager, it involves a lot more squealing and biting and bleeding and shaving than this has dared to show. A bit ridiculous.

Re: Matty's thought: I suppose it just depends on where you begin to document the process. As you suggest, they seem to skip the more . . .'animated' parts of the process.

I want to see the explanation of how they get it packed in overlaying strips, each an eighth of an inch over from the previous strip.

Only in America . . ..
