What is bacon? Truly, in its most pure state, bacon is a slice of meat cut from a pig, and then cured in salt brine. Bacon, or as some people call it, “God’s Nectar”, is most commonly served as a breakfast dish. It has recently gained so much fame in pop culture, which has led to bacon becoming one of today’s most popular dishes.

            Bacon was invented by ancient Sumerians as a sacrifice to their Sun God, Uto, and was forbidden to normal people. This is because bacon is considered to be the most holy of all foods, and is reserved for God, not man. Today, however, it can be found in mostly every restaurant, no matter what the genre of food.

            Bacon’s irresistible taste has tempted many a person into a lifelong love of its greasy, fried-up goodness. Some cultures use bacon as a medicine to cure certain diseases that have no remedy, as it is known as a cure for the incurable.

            When it comes down to it, bacon isn’t just a strip of meat. It isn’t just an artery clogging, grease-slice piece of flesh. It is hope for the world, that one day, all countries, races, ethnicities, religions, and diverse groups will come together, and have peace over a piece: a piece, of bacon that is.
