So I emailed Father’s Country Hams and they do indeed make this product for Bacon Freak, so that’s all legit. Still sucks that he’s not crediting you for your pics and content though.

I wonder if they would repackage the product for me? It would be nice to have a Mr. Baconpants product line. I will to not over charge for it like some people do

MetalChick666,

Thanks for giving me this information.

The only way to justify this is if Rocco got them to repackage there product for sale on his site. Companies do that sometimes but giving Rocco’s track record this looks a little shady.

Jason - I did a little research after I read your post and you're going to love this one. On Oct 28th, 2008 I blogged about Father's Country Hams product, Father's Piglets, and this is the image that I posted it was taken from Father's Country Hams website: On Feb. 9th, 2009, BaconFreak debuted a new product called, guess what? Piglets. What picture did he use? I wonder if he stole this idea too?

All the images ripped, that’s just bad blogging. I almost joined the Bacon of the Month club years ago…but luckily I lived in Austin where the bacon options were extremely good.

Aaron, that is a great idea. With people like you fighting the good fight. This will be a quick online feud, with the Bacon Nation being the victor.

Haha… Your probably right about it being bacon flavored sawdust.

And for Bacon Seasoning… there’s not even any info about the product, or nutritional information. IT’s probably sawdust and bacon grease.

Check this out!

Bacon Freak just posted this image without sourcing were it came from: http://baconfreak.com/blog/2008/12/22/494/

BaconToday posted this image the correct way: http://bacontoday.com/the-bacon-flowchart/

Proof of him stealing from me:

Bacon Freak posts a story about the game Pass the Pig using my graphic (not a big deal just give me a link back) and blatantly copies my content. I can tell because he posted the rule “Lazy Pig: The pig is lying on its side – 0 Points” See it here: http://baconfreak.com/blog/2008/11/10/playing-in-the-pig-pen/

That is a rule that I made up! There is no Lazy Pig rule in any Pass the Pig rule book anywhere. Again not a big deal if he would have linked back.

Here he is using my graphic again, I can tell me because I photoshopped the bacon in the top left inside the vending machine.

The photo in this post it one that I took with my own camera. http://baconfreak.com/blog/2008/11/11/hog-in-daze-bows-to-its-bacon-master/

There are many more examples but I think you get the picture now. He takes from everyone in the Bacon Nation. I wouldn’t mind if he just gave people a link back.
