when center cut bacon has less calories and tastes a whole lot better?!! I mean turkey bacon tasted ok but it just wasn't bacon. I just thought turkey bacon was better for you. No more turkey bacon for me!

    Yeah, it can be eye-opening to look things up sometimes! I ate turkey burgers for years, which were fine, but I really love beef. I thought they were lower fat--and they are, compared with, say, 15-20% fat hamburger. But then I realized I could get ground beef that was exactly the same 3-5% fat as the turkey I was eating. It's a lot more expensive, so I still eat the ground turkey sometimes, but it's nice to know I can splurge on lean, grass-fed beef or bison and get that wonderful red meat taste when I crave it.
