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.

Profile
Dave Bacon is a theoretical ski bum who is also a pseudo professor. His research is on quantum computing, his scientific passions extend to everything in physics, mathematics, computer science and beyond, and his personal pleasures include making wine, playing poker, skiing, camping, and daydreaming (although not all of those at the same time.)
Nothing he says on this blog should be construed as having anything to do with his employer or his dog.

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.

Reminds me of my plans to create screaming edible corn.

I find the lack of pig-killing disappointing too. People really should see that first hand.

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 . . ..
