This [promotional box of bacon](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/easter-collection-box) is [Reebok's](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/reebokbranded-supplements) salute to members of the [CrossFit](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cross-fit-home-chef) community that follow the popular Paleo diet. Although training and having the right gear is important for preparing for any kind of sports activity, diet is also another huge part of what will separate those who are competing.

The Reebok Bacon Box was designed to be shared with those who adhere to the Paleolithic diet, containing meat that's uncured and totally free of nitrates, preservatives, MSG and sweeteners, making it a very clean and pure source of protein. In addition to handing out the boxes to amp up for the 2014 Reebok CrossFit Games, Reebok will also have a food truck at the games with a bacon-centric menu.
