DH, best kind of bacon is where you slice it off yourself before cooking it.
My brother in law feeds his pigs barley mash from a local microbrewery. After they’re done making beer they give it to him for free.
He also gets food that the Vermont Food Bank throws away. He gets literally hundreds of pounds of slightly old steak at a time. He cooks it for the pigs in big 55 gallon steel trash barrels over an open pit fire. It’s kinda weird to see a 55 gallon trash barrel full of meat. The pigs like it though.
It’s important to wean the pigs off of the barley mash a few weeks before you slaughter them because it makes them taste kind of sour. Take note, heavy beer drinkers.
“it’s bizarre and I know it’s an epidemic amongst the wealthy more than regular people. I really think it’s a condition they suffer from of who can be skinnier than who. As a woman, we all strive to be thinner than we are – but I would never ever want to look like those ladies”
It’s a combo of stress and competition. Seriously. They’re too over-scheduled to actually relax and eat. And they think they’re being healthy eating wood chip flakes and water. (LOL!) And they have to look a certain way or it means failure. Normal or over-weight is looked at as you’re not trying, you’re sub-par, you’re a lazy slug. They see “fat” as a sign of personal weakness and failure.
I looked like that during a period of unreal work/life stress when I actually couldn’t swallow solid food—seriously. Yogurt was the best I could do. When I was super thin people used to ask me if I was anorexic, particularly my relative! I wouldn’t mind losing 10-15lbs., I would still be in a normal weight BMI for my height, not underweight.
Agreed. From my experiences riding the subways, I would say more than half the time there are less bodies in any given row of seats than those seats were actually meant for. And that’s not even considering the leg spreaders. It’s pretty scary.
The discussion on pork bellies dovetailed nicely into the discussion on the average size of the New York city subway rider.

“wood chip flakes and water.”

I think the fattest people are on the A/C trains.

“I can get you pork bellies, but you’ll need to wait a few months. Right now they’re just cute little suckling piglets!”
Pork belly is delicious!!
Here’s one for you, Biff:
