Uncured Bacon? Blaspheme....

Funny, there was a recent article in the Washington Post about bacon cuts and labelling,

The issue is that “uncured” bacon is actually cured. It’s cured using exactly the same stuff — nitrite — used in ordinary bacon. It’s just that, in the “uncured” meats, the nitrite is derived from celery or beets or some other vegetable or fruit naturally high in nitrate, which is easily converted to nitrite. In ordinary bacon and cured meats, the nitrite is in the form of man-made sodium nitrite. But the nitrite molecule is the same, no matter its source.

True, God saw fit to put nitrates and/or nitrites in celery, but his version doesn't cause illness.

There may be less of it also. This is health food bacon ;]

If that's not wild boar, wouldn't that be Neolithic? Paleolithic to Neolithic is basically the crossover from hunter/gatherer to livestock domestication and farming. I find it somewhat funny that this new Paleo diet craze makes it sound like a diet that comes from 2.6 million years ago to 12,000 years ago, yet I'd bet most of what is labelled "Paleo" is attributed to the VERY tale end of that, leaving 2.575 million years unaccounted for.

Either way...looks tasty to me! Now you've got me craving a double stacked BLT on wheat toast!!

I've been using a few different "uncured" bacons lately, and my wife pointed this out to me.
