    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.

    Don't know if I've ever had turkey bacon, but I like my bacon soggy.

    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.

    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.

    oh man. I'm a big time bacon slut.

    Hearty thick cut bacon all the way. not too crunchy, but tender, leaning toward crunchy. I'm of the mind that if you're going to do something, you do it right :)

    Oscar Mayer & Hormel both make uncured bacon. All natural, chem-free, happy piggy! They are more expensive than regular bacon, but worth it, IMO

    Just going to state at the start that I am a Jewish (third generation Russian, I don't practice, but have very strict grandparents that would probably kill me for just typing this) 27-year vegetarian, so take my opinion with a grain of salt if you like!

    For me, I would just go with real and high quality in moderation for everything that you enjoy but might be unhealthy in large amounts. Get it from a butcher or from a good organic retailer and really savor it. Thick or thin, crispy or chewy, peppered or maple cured is all up to personal taste just as long as it is from a good source, has a nice rind of fat and tastes like an actual pig.

    However, if you know you are going to eat it more often then go for a leaner, lower fat option and try to prepare it in a healthy way that eliminates a lot of the grease.

    Just an opinion.

    Regular bacon is healthier than turkey bacon. Not to mention that it's bacon. BACON!

    Regular bacon, crispy! (my husband is allergic to poultry, so turkey bacon would be just cruel!:wink: )

    Bacon isn't bacon unless it comes from a pig. I don't want it burnt to a crisp but like it a little crunchy.

    My order of preference real pork bacon > virtual bacon > shoe leather > turkey bacon > old tires > tofu bacon > getting stabbed in the eye with a pair of scissors. I might even reverse the last two in order. I also like bacon crumbles on vanilla ice cream. This is the eighth deadly sin.

    Real Bacon. Turkey bacon is just a travesty! Wright's peppered bacon is my favorite.
