    Without looking into it at all, maybe he is thinking it isn’t ultra processed? Either way, he’s still an idiot.

        Theres quite a bit in between “shipped” and “cut” for bacon. Curing salt (brining or dry application, to prevent bacteria from growing while in the temperature danger zone), this process takes a week or so, and then smoking it (preservation/flavor).
