bacon is the belly cut of swine sliced into strips, and has a much higher content of saturated fat. ham is a large cut of the swine as janszoon posted.

No that streaky bacon.

Middle or Back bacon isn't cut from the belly

The USDA defines bacon as "the cured belly of a swine carcass"; other cuts and characteristics must be separately qualified (e.g., "smoked pork loin bacon").[1] "USDA Certified" bacon means that it has been treated for trichinella.
