The American Meat Institute unveiled a new brochure aimed at capitalizing on America's love affair with bacon by revealing fun facts and history about bacon.

The brochure, titled "Six Degrees of Bacon" provides a nice narrative of the history, source, and the ever-growing popularity of bacon. Bacon, coupled with a wide variety of other toppings, has enabled countless pizza manufacturers to produce their own unique signature pizzas. We at Burke have experienced a surge of bacon sales since we first introduced it years ago. Much of the growth can be attributed to the popularity of such pizzas as bacon cheeseburger, meat lover's, BLT, and a host of breakfast pizzas.

In the brochure's press release, bacon is even listed as No. 7 on JW Thompson's list of "100 Things to Watch in 2010," along with electric cars, 3-D television, and Japan's first lady.
