Bacon show, with no bacon, sounds legit

Kind of weird seeing a place you go to 4 times a week on film. The porky melt is one of the greatest sandwiches known to man

If he wasn't like "american-chubby" that's probably average atm in the us and bald you could actually be more enthusiastic watching this. He represents the show about bacon pretty well though, literally.

i would agree with that if it weren't for big business burning crops to keep the price of produce from going down due to excess. World hunger shouldn't exist even with our food system now, but wheres the profit in that?
