It's National Bacon Day in Tuscaloosa and around the globe so we'd recommend adding some of this smoky, salty pork goodness into your life today!

Well, bacon isn't just good today, it's good everyday and, if you must, turkey bacon will work too!

The history of bacon dates back to 1500 BC, making it one of the oldest cuts of meat. Here in the U.S. more than 2 billion pounds of bacon is produced each year. Heck, we love it so much here at the station that we even hold a yearly beer and food festival called Bacon, Brew & Que with a huge spotlight being shown on bacon inspired dishes!

Twitter has been buzzing with pictures using the hashtag #NationalBaconDay so we thought we'd share a few.
