The reason for this is that bacon is cured meat. There are two reasons not to eat raw meat: taste and food safety. Taste is individual, some people are OK with the taste and eat raw meat as long as they can find a source of meat fresh enough (think sashimi, carpaccio, steak tartare). Food safety is not a problem with bacon. The process of turning pork to bacon includes salt and smoke.
Bacon made from the meat on the back of the pig is referred to as back rashers and is part of traditional British and Irish breakfasts. Bacon and ham are both cuts of meat taken from a pig (pork). The difference lies in what parts of the pig the cuts are from, and how the meat is cured. Bacon is cured in brine or in a dry packing containing large amounts of salt, smoked, boiled or dried in cold air. All ham is taken either from thigh or rump and varies only in the curing process according to different countries.
