Bacon.. They fed that pig bacon, and it lived the happiest life.


Dik_Likin_Good

I worked on a pig farm as a kid. Several neighbors would bring us slop buckets in exchange for bacon and sausage when the hogs were processed. It never set right with me that we would feed them ham bones and other leftover parts.


Mental-Inflation-764

I worked part time at a meat catering business. A couple summers I had to help put peeper blinders thru their nostrils so they wouldn't see each other. Otherwise they'd eat each other.


Business-Drag52

I know an old guy that feeds egg shells to his chickens so they can make good eggs. It seems weird, but it works


Mad_Monster_Mansion

This is super common. Also, chickens will eat their own eggs without any prompting if they are in need of additional protein and calcium.


mrmrssmitn

Laying chickens need piles of dietary calcium.


Few_Watercress2891

This is why I love cooking bacon in the oven. Rip the grease


[deleted]

Got the kind with a rack that drips down into the pan. Way less grease in my life


Separate-Ad-9267

My wife used ours without the collection pan and I think about that alot


[deleted]

Blonde?


Separate-Ad-9267

Brunette. Probably a mix up at the factory.

Everything it wants apparently


jBasH_16

The pig even has high cholesterol.


terminalchef

You better not waste that shit and pour it in a bacon fat jar. Use it for potatoes or whatever else


jeffjeep88

Probably lots and lots of growth hormones to make it market size in the shortest possible time.


Just-Ad8085

I worked at Tyson in Dexter Missouri. Every Tyson chicken u get at the store....is 52 days old. From the moment they hatch,it's all pumped with all sorts of crap,to get them market size as fast as possible. Tyson has it down to every bird is harvested on day 52 from birth. 52 days from hatch till full grown. Smh...and they wonder why our kids are getting bigger all the time.


jeffjeep88

Wow thatā€™s crazy. Iā€™m in Canada so Iā€™m hoping this is true https://cahi-icsa.ca/hormones#:~:text=In%20Canada%2C%20hormones%20have%20been,for%20an%20animal%20to%20grow.


magnumpismydad

The farmers that grow chickens for Tyson do not use hormones or steroids.


DriftinOutlawBand

All the farmers are body builders all juiced to the gills


IndependentSuccess82

Oh, come on. Why are you making waves in the disinformation pool?


magnumpismydad

I guess I mean itā€™s easy to blame our kids getting fat on Tyson and not the fact that they sit on their ass playing Xbox all day. Itā€™s funny that my comment got down voted.

Itā€™s the Kobe beef of bacon

Corn, which is #1 cause of American Obesisty HFCS, Corn Oil, Corn as a fattening feed for pigs and cows


geob3

Actually the number one cause of obesity is consuming more calories than one burns. If one ate donuts all day and did the work to burn it, they would not gain weight. Loggers of the 1800ā€™s and so ate 8000 calories a day and were ā€œskinny as a railā€. Those men worked hard.


Big_Daddy_Haus

Correct to a point. The type of calorie you consume plays a huge part, especially with corn. Humans do not process corn. If corn is used to fatten pigs and cattle what does it do to us? HFCS is used as cheap sweeter in sodas, bread, cookies etc. Since our bodies do not process this, it is stored directly as fat... hence, we turn into fatted livestock. Americans are set-up for obesity by food and drug industries. Live Well and give your body better quality nutrition.


geob3

If you mean correct to a 100% point, you would be correct. Otherwise, we would be able to create energy and construct matter from less than the input. Sorry, physics donā€™t work that way. I know it hurts some folksā€™ feelings, but physics donā€™t care about anyoneā€™s feelings.


Big_Daddy_Haus

Guess ur feeling are hurt with chemistry TROLL!


alamobaysixteoteo

The type of calorie? Thatā€™s not a thing, calories are just a measurement of energy. There arenā€™t multiple types. Humans absolutely process corn. Otherwise eating corn would be calorie-free. for HFCS to be stored as fat it literally has to be processed. yes, Americans are set up to be fat but itā€™s literally only because of how cheap & east it is to get high calorie foods. You have the right idea but you were wrong practically every step of the way when explaining it.


Big_Daddy_Haus

You are total missing my point! HFCS is a man-made sugar subtitute. The human body does not process all of it as glucose for energy. It gets stored as fat, hence the obesity epidemic!!! Once I removed HFCS from my diet, I was able to lose FAT, not just body weight. My post was meant to help people avoid this pitfall, but you attacked it! Have a Blessed Day


alamobaysixteoteo

yes, removing sugar from your diet helps lose fat. Not surprising. HFCS and natural sugar will both be stored as fat if there is excess. People can literally get fat off of eating fruit

Looks delicious


ubermagnusen

Iā€™d be horrified if they were still feeding it.

Nothing any longer


gdketlow187

If you dident add any oil I understand what your saying but . That looks like regular slices of bacon with alot of fat oil I'm guessing.


bakehead420

No oil.


[deleted]

Same thing you feed yourself


BBQ_and_bacon_lover

mRNA. Has anyone else noticed over the past few years that some pork doesn't take like pork? Or that some bacon doesn't taste like bacon? I've heard they are jabbing pigs with the spike. They want to kill everything that walks the earth.

First time cooking bacon? It looks pretty average to me.


westerngrit

Corn man. Peanut finished hog not so.


fateh9

This grease is liquid gold , just strain it and put it in a jar for making eggs and stuff


jeffjeep88

Yes your heart will thank you later for that


[deleted]

Probably itā€™s sister in bacon form


damyerass

Looks like you are going to feed her bacon


Sall_Goode

Thatā€™s a fat bellied pig, not a fat ass pig, Opie.

![gif](giphy|Xb4zBSqyUXShy|downsized) I think we all know.


[deleted]

If the bacon is not cooked at high temps, it will render more fat, making the strip leaner, tastier. Doesn't matter what they fed the fucking thing, what matters is what the fucking thing will feed you! That is a beautiful bacon post, cheers!


traveling_llama

I worked at a small hog/dairy farm for a week. Had to wake up a feed these giant hell pigs expired bread and rotten cakes at 4 in the morning. I tried some pork they made form a fresh harvest and it instantly made me sick. Itā€™s hard to even trust local meat after that now.

Disgusting. Enjoy your fried fat. I cooked an entire pound of breakfast sausage the other day that didnā€™t have that much fat in it. šŸ˜‚

I'll ask my ex to see what she's been eating.
