Is breakfast sausage being made leaner theses days.

[Hotler]

I cooked up a pound for sausage gravy and it rendered very little grease. I had to add a Tbls. of bacon drippings to make gravy.

1. Yes, everything is leaner it seems

2. I've had the same experience. The pigs are bred to be leaner these days.

5. Good point nt

3. Yes.

I add bacon grease or butter.

I think it changed about 10 or 12 years ago.

Anyone who uses sausage to make sausage gravy would definitely notice.

A lot of my family members have mentioned it.

4. Bacon is not as good as it used to be

6. I've wondered if it's because they're slaughtered before they can fatten up. nt
