Ok, how about comparing bacon to, say, an actual turkey breast, not the fake turkey bacon.

So, from bacon, you're getting 22g of fat, yet you're only getting 1 g from even more turkey breast. That's a 2200% increase! You also get more protein from turkey breast than you do from bacon, 15g and 7g respectively. That's twice as much! Yes, the sodium is higher, but not by an astronomical amount. Meat does have natural sodium in it. You get more actual meat from a turkey breast.
So, how can you argue that bacon is better for you? All I see in bacon is fat. If you want to eat turkey bacon, then that's just silly.0 -
Bacon is the candy of the meat group!0

Love me some bacon too! 0 -
YUM Bacon. . . . .When I am having a cheat meal I go to Five Guys and get a Little Bacon Cheeseburger. They have super crunchy bacon. It has to be crispy CRISPY bacon.
I have tried the Turkey crap and NO thank you. I am going to stick to my real bacon. YUM.
Now I want bacon.0 -
Now that looks yummy0 -
BACON should be in every level of Maslow's hierarchy of needs! I LOVE BACON.0

For anyone who loves the taste of cured smoked bacon but worries about nitrates go for Parma ham, its nitrate free and has the most intensely bacony bacon flavour. Om nom nom nom.0
-
Everything is better with bacon. The REAL stuff, not that nasty turkey garbage. I love bacon!!! 0
-
Hormel precooked bacon is only 70 cals fo r 4 slices. One minute in the microwave and done. And just one slice can add tons of flavor! If anyone has a Costco or a Samsclub they sell a huge package with 72 slices for 9.00. Pretty cheap overall.0

Smoked spareribs yesterday ... topped with thick cut bacon. The slow smoke and the glaze from the ribs? Yeah. That was epic win.0
-
I'm fine with you liking bacon, and I have no opinion on turkey bacon, but I have to laugh that you make a side-by-side comparison of pork bacon and turkey bacon, yet conveniently leave out saturated fat, cholesterol, and the subject of nitrates
"Ingredients: CURED WITH WATER, SALT, SUGAR, SODIUM PHOSPHATES, SODIUM ASCORBATE, SODIUM NITRITE."
Get higher quality bacon0 -
Wars are fought because of bacon.
Now pass me some bacon.0 -
I am so tired of everyone giving BACON a bad name.
"Oh...it has bacon, it must be high in fat, calories, sodium"
"BACON? That can't be HEALTHY!"
"BACON? I only eat TURKEY bacon because it is SO much better for you".
END the NONSENCE already! :mad:

From what you posted... real bacon does have more protein but turkey bacon has less sodium and less fat than real bacon. Wasn't sure if you realized that.

I love bacon. I save it for a treat for myself. A little bit really does go a long way to make a treat meal special. I can't have it in the house normally because I cannot moderate if I have it.0
