We throw away probably 3-4000 lbs of product per day, just for falling on the floor.
It goes out to be used for soap and the like.
I don't even think it gets used for dog food.
And since it will get asked, I work for Oscar Mayer and my plant makes around 96% of all the companies bacon.

I don't know if you actually buy bacon at the store or just pick some of that off the ground, but lets assume you do purchase it just like the rest of us dumb shlubs.  Aside from the obvious stuff, center cut / thick slices, etc; is there anything you look for in terms of where the fat lies / marbling or any preservatives / ingredients you avoid?

I'll just be sitting here smashing F5 eagerly anticipating your response.  Thank you.
