I only eat bacon for my meat.It is totally proteined up and is better for you than beef.My dad wouldn’t like me sayin this because we’ve been in the cattle ranching for over a hundred years.Tho my g-ma had a small heard of pigs to feed the hired men.also use the grease to fry tasty potatoes.#porkrocks.
