Straight off the pig. No salt. No nitrates. Not even cooked.

Because clearly, “curing” is woke.

It picks up some of the stuff from the asphalt, though.

yeah, sure, he's "feeding the ravens" with his roadkill collection

Guess that means bacon is vegan!

The anti-vaxxer is a lie machine.

I think this is more a case of him being wrong because he’s incredibly stupid, not because he’s lying.

But who fucking knows with this guy…?

[–] FlexibleToast@lemmy.world 8 points 2 days ago (1 children)

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

[–] floo@retrolemmy.com 11 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

I would presume that, you are correct, he doesn’t understand what the term “processed“ means in food preparation context. He probably thinks that it isn’t processed because it’s just, slaughtered, shipped, cut, and packed and shipped again.

He’s ruling, not by fact, but by “vibes”. I bet he “feels “that the word “processed” means that it’s “stuffed full of chemicals and GMO”. Which, is in and of itself, another remarkably stupid statement to make. But I’ll save that for another time.

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).

I am of the belief RFK is essentially the only fucker in the cabinet not evil. He's incredibly stupid and arrogant for not listening to experts, but I think he truly believes he's doing what's best for people.

He's still gonna kill a shit ton of people, sadly.

It doesn’t just fall out of the pig that way?

I think Robbie the Wormbot's batteries are running low.

[–] alaphic@lemmy.world 7 points 2 days ago

No shit, I mean the dude takes his fucking grandkids swimming in raw sewage, are we really gonna be surprised when he does or says something else stupid at this point?

Bacon so natural that it oinks when you poke it with a fork!
