Process

Whoever inserted the "Process" section has simply transcribed or plagiarised most of the YouTube clip https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_tvx_CKB7uI which shows an episode of Discovery / Science Channel's "How it's Made" series. It refers specifically to pre-cooked and packaged American bacon and has little relevance to bacon made globally. Being an unreferenced plagiarism I suggest it should be either removed or, if the original contributor wishes to keep it in the article, be properly referenced and moved to the "United States" section of the page. --MichaelGG (talk) 10:26, 3 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

There's a grammatical error in section 4 Addictive Taste.

"Arun Gupta of The Indypendent has pointed out how the food industry adds flavorings to bacon, such as McDonald's, which uses six different umami additives to elicit an addictive neurochemical response."

Sounds like McDonald's is now a flavor. Should read something like "Arun Gupta of the Indypendent has pointed out how the food industry, e.g. McDonald's, uses six different umami additives to elicit an addictive neurochemical response."

Also, I question the validity of the source.
