Funny how all these things your parents and grandparents used to eat on daily basis such as eggs bacon ham sausage now its all bad for us but eating imitation crap made from chemicals is healthy. Well when faced with 2 evils i choose trhe evil i like the best . all this eating healthy will get you is a healthy7 good looking corpse at your funeral .

There is absolutely no scientific/unbiased study that says bacon is bad for you. The best study to show that eating carbs is bad for you is the american public itself. When bacon was the mainstay the obesity rate was 16 percent, now with all those "Healthy" complex carbohydrates our obesity rate increased to 60 percent. Good Job!!!!!!!!!

What ever happened to good ol' canadian bacon? It's significantly lower in saturated fat and calories and it doesn't taste like a bacon substitute. The kind I have has 60 calories per serving (four slices) and 1.5 total fat with no saturated fat, and it's delicious!

"Funny" is not exactly the word I would choose. Yes, my grandparents and parents did eat all of the "real things" like bacon, red meat and ham. They looked great at their funerals. All died of coronary heart blockages before reaching 60 years of age. I physically saw the plague in the veins during one of the autopsies. I've had four bypasses at age 38. I'm glad to see the fat free bacon on the grocery shelf, I'd like to live past 60 myself.
Watch what you eat and get plenty of exercise.

I Like the turky bacon, it taste a lot like bacon, BUT, I have a problem with all that salt. I'm not to have all that salt. So in my case no bacon is best, but if i want to indulge for a treat once in a while is ok. I remember my parents we grew up on a farm and we had bacon in the smoke house and was that good bacon,,,,, Those farmers ate a lot of good food and bacon was right in the mix , straight from the smoke house yummy, My husbands parents lived to almost 100 years old and they ate eggs and bacon every day on the farm, I have to agree with doc who wants imitation food. To eat good we need to eat all raw food not cooked at all. use a juicer and eat raw vegs and fruit . lean meat and u will be better off. Cooked food is dead food. thanks rose.....

Demonizing a food and the people who enjoy it simply because you don't like it isn't science, isn't healthful and most certainly isn't sound nutrition. Butter good- margairne bad, whoops, margarine good - butter bad, whoops, margarine bad butter maybe - same with eggs. The scare du jour may get you grant money and may make money for a special interest group but it isn't anything people use to make health decisions.

All these bacons are full of garbage when I say garbage I mean chemicals. Years ago when bacon and sausage were consumed there weren't these type of additives. Through time they have been added to prolong the life of food.
Ever wonder why heart disease, cancers and other problems plague the body? Large food companies continue to feed us what they think we should eat and a lot of people do not take the time to really check out what foods they are eating. For those of you who are really interested in learning more about food check out www.ravediet.com. They have a CD and book that will explain exactly what you are eating. If you are interested in Raw foods check out www.alissacohen.com. Both sites will change your life and your health forever. I am not affiliated with either site, I personally have bought both products and have begun a new time in my life.

I agree Doc. Eat real food. Get OUTSIDE the house or office and get some exercise and fresh air. It's hard to burn 3000 calories sitting behind a desk or in front of the tv. Do this, and you can eat your real bacon, remain thin, and live into your 90's like my great grandparents...who were farmers.

Bacon could be my alternatives for breakfast but not the only choice. As one of the post comments said, it could put weights and cause obesity problem if you have too much. But thank you for the advices.

My grandparents & parents were all raised on a farm, so needless to say their diets weren't government/scientific 'healthy'; on the other hand, my grandfather lived to be 94 and my mom & dad to 81; ALL with healthy hearts. Live sensibly, enjoy food, and live for today.

Sorry to break it to you, but just because some people didn't follow the Atkins diet properly and thus dropped off it doesn't mean it's not "hot". And I have quite a health conscience, thank you. Bacon is perfectly fine as long as you don't eat several servings, which is what too many people do.
People who think low-carb diets are terrible or just a fad need to read the books. Either Atkins or South Beach will do, just read it and don't rely on what you hear from friends or over the Net. If you follow the average American diet, I can almost guarantee I eat more vegetables than you do.

I think that eating anything in MODERATION is the key. Eating regular bacon maybe once a month is not to going to clog your arteries the same way it would if you were eating it at every meal everyday. Besides, there is NO substitute for that SALTY GOODNESS!!!

The atkin comments are completely out of line here. I eat 3-4 strips of bacon every morning (or sausage) and 3-4 eggs.. EVERY DAY.... i love it.. my lipid levels after one year are COMPLETELY normal.. got that folks? I am type 2 diabetic and living drug free and losing weight.
They are lying to you. Saturated fats are fine if you avoid sugar.. if you are eating a DEADLY high carb life.. then yes.. avoid bacon and all fat like the plague...
but if you live a HEALTHY low carb lifestyle... LOOK OUT PIGS!
this writer should be slapped.
