It's All About The Bacon

I decided it was time to write about one of my passions... BACON!  Apparently a lot of other people share the same passion!  I mean you really can't go wrong with bacon!

Have you heard the term "Bring Home the Bacon"?  Well, it was not a phrase coined by the commercials in the 80's with the sassy blonde dancing around the house... it actually originated during the 12th century from a church in Dunow, England.  The church offered a side of bacon to any man who could swear before God and the congregations that he had not fought or quarreled with his wife for a year and a day.  Any man that could "Bring Home the Bacon" was respected in his community.  

In the 1770's a man by the name of Jon Wiltshire was the first man to produce bacon on a large scale. He named the company Wiltshire and to this day is still considered the bacon capital of the world.

In 1924 Oscar Meyer introduced prepackaged bacon to the United States... and the obsession began..

In the 21st century the passion for bacon has taken off and a love of bacon has been shared and transformed into many types of products.. showing their love of the delicious salt cured pork that makes its way across the US to the tune of 2 BILLION POUNDS A YEAR!  Now, that's a lot of BACON!  YUMMY!!

Bacon even made the cover of TIME magazine!!  Bacon wrapped Twinkies... bacon wrapped Oreo... bacon dipped in chocolate.. bacon printed bandages... bacon print shoes.. costumes... and the list goes on... and on... 

Did you know that 70% of our bacon consumption is at breakfast?  I say break the trend.. eat breakfast for dinner!!

CHEERS!!
