Food and Drink : Is turkey bacon "healthier" than regular bacon?

Is turkey bacon "healthier" than regular bacon?

I try to replace pork bacon with Turkey bacon when I order my breakfast sandwiches because I feel it's healthier but I don't why.

I mean "healthier" is such a nebulous concept, it would have to depend on serving size; a small sample of oily regular bacon is probably "healthier" than a big plate of turkey bacon.

Is "healthier" determined by coloric contect in equal sample sizes or the content of the food itself , additives and cooking methods?

Any nutritionists here to chime in?

I would assume turkey has fewer calories than pork in equal sample sizes.

This is an extremely stimulating thread. I'm glad I read it.

Re: Is turkey bacon "healthier" than regular bacon?

Turkey fat wonโ€™t clog your arteries the same way bacon fat will since itโ€™s so lean and has very little of it.

All Iโ€™m going to say is that I work weekdays only. I wonโ€™t say which department I work for or what my title is.

Go check on your little bastards and stop worrying about my real life.

You have no clue what youโ€™re talking about, you ignorant gorilla.

You do know there are other type of medical facilities other than hospitals right?

But for the sake of remaining anonymous letโ€™s say I do work in a hospital. Thereโ€™s something called seniority and one of the benefits, according to your department, is that you get a better schedule. The newly hired employees as well as those working part time or prn are the ones who cover the weekends and most holidays. Try looking up the definition of a โ€œskeleton crewโ€.

Donโ€™t come at me unless you educate yourself first, you dumb bitch.

Re: Is turkey bacon "healthier" than regular bacon?

That makes no sense. The same amount of turkey fat will clog your arteries as much as the same amount of pork fat. Fat is fat. Turkey fat is not magic.

There are different types of fat such as saturated, unsaturated, trans or even omega. Some are better than others.

Re: Is turkey bacon "healthier" than regular bacon?

All animal fat is saturated whether it's from pork, turkey or dogmeat lumpia.

Not all fat comes from animals you ridiculously ignorant shitface. For example olive oil and Omega oil (WHICH COMES FROM AN ANIMAL YOU DUMBASS) have cholesterol that is beneficial to your health.

Re: Is turkey bacon "healthier" than regular bacon?

I never said all fat comes from animals, Imleda. I said all animal fat is saturated. Don't they teach you that in med tech school, flipshit?

Wrong.

Re: Is turkey bacon "healthier" than regular bacon?

No, I'm correct as usual. Don't you have bed pans to clean or something?

Sorry, but I lost my snorkel mask in a battle with a great white shark. So the pic will have to wait.

Re: Is turkey bacon "healthier" than regular bacon?

Turkey bacon has less fat. It isnโ€™t really โ€œbaconโ€ in that it isnโ€™t the same part from a turkey as from a pig. Itโ€™s just made to look like that.

Hey Diddler, Diddler….the cat and the fiddler LOL

Re: Is turkey bacon "healthier" than regular bacon?

I understand it had less fat, but is it objectively "healthier"?

I don't believe "less fat" is equivalent to healthier because of other x factors involved that I mentioned.

What makes one food "healthier" than another food is the deeper question.

Re: Is turkey bacon "healthier" than regular bacon?

It isnโ€™t particularly healthy especially since itโ€™s fried in oil when prepared as well as highly processed with salt beforehand. It isnโ€™t โ€œhealthyโ€ but itโ€™s โ€œhealthierโ€ when compared side by side.

Hey Diddler, Diddler….the cat and the fiddler LOL

Re: Is turkey bacon "healthier" than regular bacon?

A strip of turkey bacon is leaner and has less fat than a strip of a pork bacon. But the fats themselves are the same.

It's closer to being kosher than pork bacon, but still no cigar.

I try to avoid processed meats in general.

Turkey bacon is kosher.
Some but not all. It depends on your definition of kosher.

By the standard definition of kosher from The Torah turkey is kosher:

It's less calories, so there's that. To me, turkey bacon just doesn't work as the taste is too off. I just eat regular bacon in moderation.
