    Turkey bacon sucks.

    Pig for the win. It's not really THAT bad for you, either. I can easily fit it in my macros.

    True!

    I tried it once expecting it to taste like bacon, what a tease because it definitely didn't....I'm gonna try it again to see if it's a good alternative? if not, then I'll just proceed to eat bacon in moderation when the urge arrives....darn now I want bacon :/ lol

    Im heating up my oven now to cook some.

    it's processed turkey parts meat, with additives that include sugar. so I don't eat Turkey Bacon, I perfer real turkey meat. As for Bacon perfer real bacon, center cut is best, so is thick cut but either way it's ok to eat a slice of bacon, but the entire package wil make u fat. its up to you....


    Excellent post!

    I don't eat any bacon anymore now that I am vegetarian, but when I was a meat-eater I looooved bacon (the "real stuff" or turkey bacon). Keep in mind, turkey bacon serves more purposes than just a lower-fat, lower-calorie option. Some people happen to like bacon and can't eat it for religious or other reasons. They eat turkey bacon. Everything serves a purpose. If people don't like it they don't have to buy it.


    Congrats on becoming a vegetarian. I am really thankful for people like you. You provide a different viewpoint on eating meat. I also thank you for explaining about people not eating it for religious purposes. However, some people just eat it because they were lied to and told that its healthier. Also I am completly aware of the "If you dont like it, dont buy it concept" Im just starting conversation thats all.

    I agree... turkey "bacon" sucks! Bacon is one of THE best foods ever... I know vegetarians that have their one downfall...bacon! I got turkey bacon thinking it was going to be good and was going to be a lot less calories, etc... but it's really not. It doesnt taste at all like bacon, and it's really only about 20-30 cals less per slice than regular bacon. So if I'm making one or two slices to add to a breakfast sandwich... what's an extra 50 cals for the REAL DEAL?!
    I WILL NEVER EAT TURKEY BACON AGAIN!!!! weird pressed, shaped, funky stuff.

    I cant lie I ate like 7 pieces this morning for breakfast. I was so ashamed I logged it as quick calories!! LOL. But I went to the gym and burned 2200 calories. I guess Ill eat the rest of it in the morning for breakfast. Nothing wakes me up better than a oven baking center cut bacon. Yum!
