not so sure. :laugh:
notice they inject the brine? that's still done today. brine is mostly water, and that's why mass produced bacon like that will sputter and spit while cooking, and shrink considerably. it also means whatever water is in th pork is almost pure prifit when sold at a few bucks a pound.
more traditionally cured bacon will be firmer, shrink far less, and generally be a little thicker. it also can be a bit chewier, which catches peiople by surprise some time.
but it's far better i think.
good stuff.

How viewpoints change in 45years...... The narrator brags about automation, mechanization, etc.
Now buzzwords include sustainability, organic, hand-cut, etc -
And yet, beneath the marketing mumbojumbo of "sustainability, organic, hand-cut" etc. lies the same automation and mechanization. "All Natural" and "Artisan" may sound pretty, but if they're printed on a label, odds are they don't mean jack. For some amusing reason, I respect the blatant food processors more than the ones who pass processed food off as something it isn't. I'll stop eating velveeta the day they claim it's "organic".
Bacon looks good, stike. I'm still working my way through the seven pounds I made earlier this year. And the bacon wasn't nearly as chewy, when I cut it the right way. -
This movie is going to become a Christmas tradition for my family.

Ah 45 years ago 95% of all meat was raised organic. The other 5% was in the labs so we could have the crap we have now. Now they are going to be able to use genetically engineered Alfalfa.
Maybe his hair won't stick up and he will be able to get Darcy. :laugh:
