We all love bacon, but bacon is so misunderstood.  

We think bacon is unhealthy and consider it a “cheat” food.  True, most of the bacon in the grocery store is a product of the modern meat industry, is loaded with nitrates and preservatives, and is full of water to so that it weighs more and they can charge more money.  Anything resembling something healthy is incredibly expensive.  But, it doesn’t have to be that way…
