According to the [[USDA]]'s [[Foreign Agricultural Service]], nearly 100 million metric tons of pork were consumed worldwide in 2006 (preliminary data).

Bacon is defined as any of certain [[Primal cut|cuts]] of [[meat]] taken from the sides, belly, or back that have been cured or smoked. In continental Europe, it is used primarily in cubes ([[lardon]]s) as a cooking ingredient valued both as a source of [[fat]] and for its flavour. In [[Italy]], besides being used in cooking, bacon (''[[pancetta]]'') is also served uncooked and thinly sliced as part of an ''[[antipasto]]''. Bacon is also used for [[Bacon#Bacon fat|barding]] roasts, especially game birds. Bacon is often smoked with various wood fuels for up to ten hours. Bacon is eaten fried, baked, or grilled.
A side of unsliced bacon is a "flitch" or "slab bacon", while an individual slice of bacon is a "rasher" (Australia, Ireland, New Zealand and the United Kingdom) or simply a "slice" or "strip" (North America). Slices of bacon are also known as "[[collops]]". Traditionally, the skin is left on the cut and is known as "bacon rind". Rindless bacon, however, is quite common. In both [[Republic of Ireland|Ireland]] and the [[United Kingdom]], bacon comes in a wide variety of cuts and flavours, and is predominantly known as "streaky bacon", or "streaky rashers". Bacon made from the meat on the back of the pig is referred to as "[[back bacon]]" and is part of traditional [[full breakfast
The canned meat [[Spam (food)|Spam]] is made of chopped pork shoulder meat and ham.
