I guess that explains why close to 25% of restaurants featured on Triple
D and similar Food Network shows feature pork belly. I can't think of
any cut of meat that gets as much coverage as pork belly.

You don't believe in them?  They are real.
Are you just averse to believing in them because they example of the
amount of time they spend dealing with the pork belly that you said
Americans aren't interested in?

Most Americans are interested in bacon - they aren't interested in pork
belly. Americans don't really deal with pork belly unless they're
Filipino, or Chinese, or Korean, or Okinawan.
Most Americans aren't interested in pork belly because it's considered
to be too fatty and Americans are fearful of fat. Just because you see
it on TV doesn't mean it's popular. OTOH, pork belly has gotten more
popular in the last 10 years or so in America. That's the younger
generation for you. Americans of my generation still consider it to be a
weird piece of meat.
I'm certainly interested in pork belly but don't spend a lot of time
cooking it. I like to order it in restaurants though.
