I honestly do not remember where/when the bacon abhorrence began. Can you explain the backstory?

Easy...I do not like bacon...and bacon worshipers cannot understand that some would actually blaspheme their beloved bacon and they are offended by my freedom to dislike bacon and constantly try and puh bacon on me

All pork or bacon only?
Bizarre either way to shun one of the easiest to harvest, best tasting meats on the planet.
FWIW, I prefer smoked bacon which takes a little more work but taste SO much better.

One of the life skills we learned from the way we grew up was how to harvest our own meat. We slaughter 1-2 hogs and 1 beef every year and do all the processing and smoking ourselves. For the whole extended it ends up being 5-7 beef and 12-15 hogs/year. Weather used to allow this to be a Thanksgiving weekend affair every year. Now it is done in January.
It is a family affair and has made for some of my best (and worst) family memories.

You are mistaken. There is no such thing as freedom to dislike bacon.

I'm going to be tired today. For some reason, I woke up at midnight, then at 2, and then at 3. And then I couldn't get back to sleep.
