Bacon has often been referred to as "nature's candy." No matter how you slice it, it's always delicious. Even vegetarians have trouble resisting this meaty treat when they smell it cooking. But did you know that Americans consume an average of nearly 18 pounds of bacon per year?Here's a tribute to one of the best things that pigs have to offer humankind.

18 pounds of bacon, per person, per year? doesn't that sound a 'wee' bit off? that would mean that each person is single handedly eating almost a package and a half, each month.
how much bacon do you really eat? i eat about 2 slices about once every six months, maybe less. now, i'm probably in the minority with that amount, but seriously, a package and a half every month? that's bacon several days a week, every week. i don't know a single person that eats that much bacon

I eat a lot of bacon, I actually eat a pack of bacon in 2 days. So thats roughly 3 1/2 packs a week.

I believe those numbers sound accurate. A package and a half a month you say? Let's do the math. Estimating for the moment that there are 15 slices in a package, that's a slice or two every other day or 4 to 6 slices every weekend. That is less bacon than I eat, and that's assuming it's not being eatin on salads and burgers as well. You eat very little bacon, you are not the norm.

Baltimore/Washington D.C. and Dallas/Ft. Worth make sense, but why are San Antonio and Corpus Christi lumped together? They're about 150 miles apart.
