Free-range bacon has 2800 IU of vitamin D per 100 grams

The USDA has known this since the early 1980's.
Details at Weston Price March 2012
Apparently Italian pigs are generally "free range" - their bacon having up to 3600 IU of vitamin D per 100 grams

Now farmers just provide pigs with enough vitamin D to prevent their getting rickets
Wonder when pig farmers will get around to supplementing with enough vitamin D to provide benefits in humans
