Low fat bacon?

No THANK you!

[Jeff Chandler]

Animal fat is where the flavor is.

[Red Badger]

It’s not ‘No Fat’, just lower fat!

Leaner bacon!................

[Red Badger]

True, but lower fat means leaner meat!................

Tastes like tofu

The Heritage pig breeds in our country are popping up everywhere. We are going in the opposite direction. Pork fat is good for you. Read Fat the book.

instead of genetically altering the pigs, why not just feed them accordingly to not have them gain so much fat and or have them be more active rather than small pen/cage to whatever they usually do for mass produced pigs?

plenty of ways other than messing up genetics since that usually leads to other problems for the animal and those who consume it.

What are you supposed to fry your eggs in?

Whenever I see the words “low fat” on ANYTHING I run the other way!

[bgill]

Just like they ruined marbling in beef. It’s fat that gives meat the great taste and tenderness.

[Jeff Chandler]

True, but lower fat means leaner meat!.

If low-fat, low-flavor meat is your thing you could buy turkey bacon.

Our ancestors ate lots of pork belly and lardo (cured backfat) and weren’t obese.

RE: Heritage breeds, there’s a farmer near here that raises Red Wattle Hogs. They’re a high fat breed and the chops on them are nearly as marbled as USDA Choice strip steaks. I made one for the wife on my pellet grill and she was blown away. Tender, juicy, with great flavor. Very expensive though so we don’t get them often.

I bought an entire uncured ham from them twice and brined and smoked them myself. DELICIOUS! If you’ve never made your own ham you should try it. It’s easy and you’ll wonder why you’ve never done it before.

Cant have Chinese monsanto in the same market as US monsanto!

Funny how globalists are all actually isolationists.

[Mears]

I agree-—without the fat it wouldn’t be worth cooking-——and what would I fry my eggs in?

[posterchild]

US pork has been trending leaner, drier and blander for several decades now. I’m surprised there are enough people who want this.

[chuckles]

Just come to Texas and shoot a couple of hogs. Wild hogs are gooood. Lean meat but not too lean. There is no secret to lean pigs. Just stop feeding them so much corn.

genetically altered pigs (from China)

What could go wrong?

[ZOOKER]

Radio guys were all over this this AM.

Claimed Low Fat Pig was actually an alias, along with Sum Ting Wong and Wee Too Low.
