>he doesn't save his bacon fat
Almost all the calories in bacon are in the fat which you end up throwing away. You're literally paying to waste more than half your food. It's like buying a chicken, deboning it, throwing the meat and skin into the trash, just so you can use the bones for stock. Makes no sense.
Strain your bacon grease and keep it in a jar in the fridge and it will easily last several months. I've even used some that was in the fridge for almost a year without any issue. It doesn't have a strong bacon flavour, but fried eggs and omelettes taste noticeably better with it.

>B-but bacon grease is unhealthy!
Not as unhealthy as you think, especially if it's from pigs that haven't been raised eating only corn and soy garbage. If you're a pussy, you can just use less of it, anyway. You eat a pound of bacon without batting an eye but you're afraid of 1-2 tablespoons of bacon grease in a skillet?

STOP WASTING YOUR BACON GREASE (= MONEY)
