    I buy uncured Bacon at Whole Foods......it's delicious! I've found eating whatever I want in moderation is easier to stick to.

    I'm not even going to try turkey bacon. Somehow that thought just feels wrong and besides, if pork bacon is cooked until crispy, it only has 30 cals each. I think.. anyway, I love my meat. :)

    Not understanding why Turkey bacon isn't real?? I eat it.. if it's the only thing i eat, I will still poop.. so based on those scientific facts, it has to be real!!

    I used to like the other stuff but now it's much too salty for my tastes except on pizza..

    Not that I eat pizza because I'm on MFP to be healthy and the health police would come and arrest me and I am a law abiding non pizza private diary having citizen of MFP-opolis...

    ok.. I'm going away now.. *whispers* yay bacon.. *cough* and pizza

    What about Beggin strips? Would you buy them for your pet if they came in Turkey, as a healthier option?
    I do buy them for my dog...he loves them

    While it is real as in a physical object, it does not, nor shall it ever, earn the honorific title of "bacon."

    MADE WITH REAL BACON. Your TURKEY or CHICKEN 'BACON' answers are invalid.

    That *kitten* you buy at the grocery store isn't real bacon. If you want *real* bacon, get it from a butcher. You don't know what you're missing until you do.

    If should look something like this

    Regular bacon. If you eat the center cut or the lower sodium kind its comparable to fat and calories in turkey bacon but tastes WAY better.

    I eat 2 strips of turkey bacon everyday. I'll eat pork bacon once in a blue moon.

    Please don't hit me with a bat when I say this but I don't see the big deal about pork bacon.


    agreed. I can take pork bacon or leave it... I will eat either.

    Real only.

    Turkey bacon tastes way more salty to me and always gives me heartburn.

    UGH! Some people make me sick. My boxer mix was tied up in a plastic bag and thrown out of someone's car window in a Walmart parking lot. He was estimated to be around 4 weeks old.
