    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.

    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!

    I don't have it often, but I like regular bacon. When we have it we get center cut.

    Regular bacon (keeping all the happy in LOL), not too chewy and not too crisp. I like the Costco brand (Kirkland) low sodium bacon.

    Regular bacon is best as long as you eat it in moderation (2-3 slices) once a week. Practice portion control and you won't feel deprived! We should be able to enjoy food as much as we did before experiencing our weight issues as long as we eat healthy on most days, move more and rest for one day. So remember, less is best and keep moving!

    I just bought OSCAR MAYER BACON - READY TO SERVE - BACON THICK CUT FULLY COOKED (sorry for the all caps, I cut and pasted this) and it's only 70 cals for 3 pieces and 5g of fat. Yummmy! And so easy to add to a sandwich or salad.

    Seriously! Don't you just feel.... SAD when you eat turkey bacon? I mean, REALLY! Arctic Zero "Ice Cream" and fat free greek yogurt has also had all the happy taken out of them.

    Real Bacon.......Center Cut since it has the lowest fat and gets nice and crispy. 2 slices can be as low as 50 calories :)

    Where can you buy uncured bacon? I haven't seen it at Walmart or the grocery store. What is the flavor like?

    I love bacon, the real deal. If it is turkey bacon it has to be super cripsy or it is just gross. Real bacon I can eat either way.
