    I enjoy that you made the outfit classy by drinking wine.

    Turkey is super processed usually. I get Canadian, lowest fat, most protein, lowest sodium. Win win win!

    What about Beggin strips? Would you buy them for your pet if they came in Turkey, as a healthier option?

    I don't eat a ton of cheese- but when I have it, it's full fat
    I don't eat a ton of bacon-but when I do it's real

    If I am going to eat it, it's not going to be a fake version.

    I prefer the turkey bacon. Less greasy than real bacon.

    Both. Turkey is cleaner to deal with.

    I like eating "revenge bacon" (you know, the kind that pops hot, angry grease at you from the pan)...

    CHOMP!!! Take THAT, ya sizzlin' son-nama-bee-otch!!

    Real for sure! I have found Gwaltney reduced fat bacon that is really good too. It has better nutritional stats than turkey bacon!

    I like both, but consider them totally different foods.
    One does not "substitute" for the other.

    Depends on how I feel on a given day... today, I'd eat turkey bacon.

    Yeah, this too for me! It's like breakfast sausage to linked sausage. They're two different beasts and I like them for different things. Turkey for quick in the morning breakfast. It takes less time to cook. I like regular bacon crumbled up in soups or on potatoes or salad. Oh or potato skins!

    I never eat anything just because it's 'healthier'. I eat things because they taste good and I enjoy them.

    We have eaten turkey bacon in this house for years, simply because it's healthier for my kids and we all like it, it tastes pretty darn good. I buy the Oscar Meyer brand from costco, comes in a 4 pack and its much cheaper than the real bacon, which is another reason I buy it.


    That being said, we do also eat actual pork bacon from time to time too, but that's more like a "treat." What's funny is my kids don't like it as much because of the fat, they say, ewwww its all fat, am I supposed to eat that? LOL

    Look at my shirt. Even my son agrees real bacon is better! Heck, my wife brought turkey 'bacon' into the house and I damn near divorced her *kitten*. I rather her sleep around then bring me FALSE BACON!

    Yes, we had real bacon on our pizza here too!

    I love both equally. I cook with regular bacon, great to sautee veggies in rendered bacon fat. But Trader Joes Turkey bacon is by far the best the other brands get so cardboardy.

    100% real. Not even the low-sodium crap. I like my white meat authentic. :wink: :tongue:

    By the time they get done adding sodium nitrites and all the other poison to turkey bacon, the point is moot. Eat the real thing.
