hey guys in this video we’re gonna talk about bacon and how to read label because I get a lot of questions on what kind of bacon do I consume and what do I look for when I’m reading the label okay well the first thing is when you should do is go to the farmers market because they always are going to have a higher quality but if you can’t get there I’ll show you a couple other things to look for first of all when it says all-natural that means absolutely nothing okay so ignore that because that’s just a joke all natural verses like what is it not natural artificial pork okay next one raised without antibiotics okay this is funny because they’re trying to differentiate their brand from other brands that have antibiotics but that’s not true because it’s not allowed to give pigs antibiotics anymore so they’re all without antibiotics okay this one’s important no nitrates you don’t want to consume bacon with nitrates alright this can we potentially to cancer so we want to avoid that when it says never fed animal by-products now first of all you’re probably thinking like what do you mean animal by-products what’s that yeah that’s actually waste products from other animal like chicken crap and cow waste okay yes they do add that into some of the feeds so this would be an important thing to have on the label because you don’t want to consume animal products that have been fed waste of other animals okay next one all budget area now that sounds really healthy like your the pigs are getting vegetables right no they’re actually getting GMO corn and soy okay that’s what they’re being fed so what you really want to see way more important than this is if it’s organic because if it’s organic the feed even if it’s grains must be certified organic okay now you might say well aren’t pigs fed grass well they are different than cows they don’t have four stomachs like a cow they have like one stomach like us and like chickens they require more energy dense foods so you’re not gonna find a pig farm that actually feeds pigs just grass they do feed them grains okay the key thing is to make sure those grains are non-gmo okay again the farmers market that’s the way to go but if it says it’s organic according to the USDA it’s fed non-gmo actually they have to let the pigs out of the barn throughout the year they have to be raised on maybe some grass that they consume that’s non GMO and all the other things that they eat must be certified organic all right so then you’re gonna probably see celery powder that’s actually totally a good thing and a lot of times bacon you’ll see it’ll have sugar try to get bacon without sugar okay that’s the ideal situation if you can’t find any look at the grams of sugar on the back of the label and make sure it’s less than one gram preferably zero so if they’re using sugar it’s such a small small small amount it’s actually like zero it’s if it’s anything’s below a gram it’s zero it’s considered zero all right there you have it that’s how you read the label when you buy your bacon if you’re liking this content please subscribe now and I will actually keep you updated on future videos
