    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!

    I like turkey bacon, please it doesn't shrink up as much.

    So you prefer texture over taste? Is that what I understand? Or you just hate shrinkage?

    I don't notice a texture issue with turkey bacon like I do with ground turkey.

    mmmmm breakfast meat....and MMMM pork breakfast meat! Now you have me craving at 11:05pm.

    I....don't so much mind turkey bacon, 'though it's not as good as regular bacon. And I can certainly agree with what you're saying in regards to the name!

    Pork makes me break out and can send me into anaphylactic shock. So turkey bacon keeps my breakfast a little similar to my family's without the unfortunate side affects.

    I like both. But with turkey bacon I can eat 2 or 3 strips with my eggs and be fine. But regular bacon owns my soul, if it's in my house I'll fry up the whole package at once. So I only it is as a treat at diners where they control the portion. :)

    Now ground turkey I have no issues with. I cook with that often. I can make it taste wonderful. Seasoning is key with ground turkey.

    Turkey bacon is loaded with sodium. I'm with you- if you are going to eat bacon once in awhile... choose a nice nitrate, sulphite free thick cut.

    Turkey bacon works for me since I have pancreatitis. Also, my wife can't hardly eat regular bacon now because of all the grease. You are right in the fact that we need to be more responsible to portion control but ish happens.

    Start a petition to call it Turkey Fake-un. There should be a law.

    My brother in-law lives by 2 mottos and 2 mottos only:

    1. Everything is better with bacon
    2. There is always room for a hot dog

    Thats how he lives his life!!
