    I like Coleman's Uncured Hickory Smoked All Natural bacon. I'd rather have full fat, uncured than frankenfood turkey bacon with all the happy taken out. I like it super chewy, barely cooked.

    LOL. I like "with all the happy taken out". Never heard that before.

    You know, I eat bacon so rarely, that if I'm gonna eat it, I'm gonna eat REAL GOOD BACON!!! Not turkey bacon... sorry turkey bacon.

    I have bacon a couple times a year (Christmas, and the occasional BLT... maybe some at Bolder Boulder on Monday haha), and I really savor it. So yeah... no turkey bacon for me. I'd rather have the good stuff. =)

    If you get center cut regular bacon, it has less cals and fat than turkey bacon.

    I don't eat bacon anymore really, but if I were to it would be turkey bacon. The "real" stuff grosses me out now lol.

    If I'm going to go for bacon, I'll have the real thing. Crispy as hell.

    I definitely love regular bacon, cripsy, but I will eat turkey bacon. I buy Lillydale bacon flavoured turkey slices, they aren't all processed and gross looking like the Butterball turkey bacon. I think it's a Canadian brand though. But they're delicious and they look like real food and I can eat them guilt free and as much as I want. Bacon sandwich anyone?

    Turkey bacon is too thin for me. I like regular bacon and I love it chewy! Just had some for breakfast about 10 mins ago and it was DELISH!

    90 cals for 2 slices :D

    I enjoyed a slice of bacon this morning and I found that I really, really enjoyed it instead of just gobbling it down...lol! If I had to eat turkey bacon I'd rather just eat tree bark...both are disgusting :0/

    I read that real bacon - center cut - is better for you than turkey bacon because it doesn't have any fillers

    I eat both, but prefer regular bacon. The crispier the better. The best trick to get the fat out and make it really crispy is to bake it instead of frying. Lay out on a baking sheet with sides (with non stick spray) and bake at 425 for 18-22 minutes. Minimizes shrinkage, keeps the pieces flat, and tastes amazing!
