Adam Ruins Everything: How Big Meat Made Bacon a Meme
- Thread starter Richiek
- Start date
I felt like the rise of "bacon" was tied to things like Ron Swanson-isms and uptick in Paleo culture during the mid 00s
Carbonara is, should, be pancetta which is different from bacon.

What? A huge industry jumping on the meme wagon, artificially propping up its proliferation and pretending to be among the hip kids? Colour me shocked.
It's almost as if marketing has long since embraced social media... who would've thought.
But people need to realize that this kind of marketing only works if people are receptive to it. People love bacon, so it was an easy sell.

I've seen those "I care about the environment yall but what about bacccoonnn?? I can't live without my bacccoonnn" posts thrown around here all the time whenever the modern diet is challenged
That meme wouldn't have been anywhere near as prevalent as it was if bacon wasn't fucking delicious.
That's KING Curtis to you, commoner.
. . . All joking aside, Curtis was awesome. I hope he's doing well now.
Bacon memes/jokes are pretty pretty insufferable, I mentioned this just yesterday in the Impossible Burger thread. It bothers me a great deal because I frequently hear these types of jokes coming from self-described "liberal" people who claim to be familiar to the drivers of climate science. It's almost as if their compassion for the environment ends where the impact on their diet begins.
Large organizations using astroturfing campaigns to sow social media with dank memes is also nothing new, I feel like we just saw this in macro form with Bird Box.

I mean, haven't you seen Big Cat Diaries? What did you think that show was about?
Coincidentally (I'm sure) after seeing this topic I had this show up on my phone.

Forget bacon strips. Give me bacon chops. Or pork belly from Chinese places. It's all the same part and it's delicious.
The latter half is pretty revisionist history IMO. The real manufactured controversy is how saturated fat (especially animal fat) is bad for you so here, have several decades of hydrogenated oil made from plants marketed to you as "healthy" to actually fuck up your health instead!
A lot of the processed foods sold to you in general is pretty bad for you though, but then it's not really about bacon or meat anymore.
