*So last night I was watching Oprah and saw that she was actually the one who shed light on this bacon controversy. I guess my hubby's co-worker had just seen the show because he was the one who told him to check the labels*
So lately I have really been into bacon the thick kind that is extra crispy. I usually buy turkey bacon though because I thought it was healthier but look what I found out. Turkey bacon (Oscar Meyer) has the same amount of fat per piece as the Costco maple bacon, turkey bacon has 80mg more sodium and 50 more mg of cholesterol! What the heck!!!! Turkey bacon is out.

AMEN!!!! I happen to be very fond of pork, especially of the bacon variety. And, as with all things, moderation is the key. :)
We used to eat a lot of turkey bacon too. I was shocked to hear this. Have you tried Trader Joe's Applewood Smoked bacon?? It's RIDICULOUS. So good.
No I haven't tried the TJ bacon. I think that might have to be my next purchase,
