we raise a free range pig every year. this year was the first year the pig was fat enough to even make bacon. havent tried any, but i have a freezer full of uber organic bacon. the pigs ate a balance diet of veggies, nuts..and some pig food.
my neighbor lady hits the local markets for the toss outs..and i pic acorns for her.

If I get reincarnated, I want to be the free range pig at your place.
Our bacon tends to be Canadian bacon style. Lean. It could be shoulder bacon I don't know, but I don't buy that streaky bacon that would be pork belly. Also if it's "rindless" it's just a low fat cut of pork that's had the smoke house treatment.
In this country we get a lot of cheap bacon from places unknown
such as Indonesia or thereabouts and it's full of water and preservatives. Plus the poor pig was rasied in a factory on a diet of anti-biotics, growth hormones and palm tree oil by-products.
