This statement is so wrong on so many levels. 1 - I don't know any other Americans that make their own bacon. 2 - Many other countries eat pork belly 3 - Pork belly and bacon are not unhealthy foods.

With homemade bacon, yes there is some shrinkage because of the fat rendering out. However, there is a lot more shrinkage in commercial bacon, because of the water injected to increase weight. You can google it for proof that they inject water in commercial bacon. | ||
