(11,780 posts)All sorts of jobs are being labeled heroic nowadays but usually its medical and other types of care. We should remember the grocery store workers, Delivery chain workers, etc that keep things going. Maybe not heroic but its good they are there, and some of the lowest paid.

In my opinion, it is not about the bacon, but the money the bacon makes. He may have also drawn the mourners as minorities. If it was yellow haired women and men in business suits, they would not be mourning. The grave may have been drawn as a potter's field.
The meat packers are sacrificing their minority workers because they are unwilling to slow down the production process. It is all about profits. It is not real people being sacrificed to save our bacon the are people of color...
