International Bacon Day is the perfect time for people to share bacon dishes, recipes, and everything bacon-related. According to the animal nutrition and farm education blog, Alltech, “Americans on average eat around 18 lbs. of bacon each year. That’s approximately 5,608,654,506 lbs for the entire U.S., which is equal to 7.68 Empire State buildings.”
