    As I understood it, the purpose of turkey bacon is to enable Jews and Muslims to eat bacon. There's also beef bacon. Having lived in the Arabian Gulf for the past 7 years, I can tell you all about fake bacon.

    Turkey Bacon - NO! what is it? I know it is not Bacon!

    Pork Bacon = Bacon = YES! the only way to eat bacon...since it is the only bacon!

    Pork bacon tastes better and there is nothing inherently "bad" about bacon...people need to be able to look at their diets (noun) as a whole rather than singling out individual food items. My two slices of bacon this morning did not magically negate the rest of my nutrition today...and in fact, contributed essential fats and protein. As part of an overall nutritious and well balanced diet, bacon is a non-issue.

    I'm allergic to pork (weird allergy, but it's MINE!) so I've gotten used to turkey bacon. But let me tell you, buffalo bacon, or better yet duck bacon, are far tastier alternative cured breakfast meat. If only they weren't so expensive. I doubt they taste "like" pork bacon, but dang, they're delicious!

    Hrrm, time for a trip to the farmer's market. If I freeze it in small packages, that pricy pound will last.

    Also don't eat pork for non dietary reasons. Chicken and turkey bacon lets me get my bacon fix. I cook it in the microwave between two pieces of parchment paper. One minute 10 seconds per slice. It even goes crispy. Yum!!

    Dis what I was gonna say. It does have less fat than the normal stuff. I actually prefer it too, does not make me feel weighed down
