Bacon is more than the Ferrari of meat, it's the crack cocaine of all foods.

If bacon is the cocaine of all foods, then I just ate the meth of all foods:  pizza

I like bacon, it's really tasty. When I grow up and move out, however, I think I'll go vegetarian simply because I can't handle raw meat, it grosses me out. I guess I'll live on my weird middle-eastern dishes, noodles and curry! I've never craved it, not like I crave reindeer meat or cloudberry jam.

Spaghetti Carbonara is awesomely tasty, does anyone know of a vegetarian equivalent to it?

That's scarry VK, because it's true.

And no, there is no veggie equivalent for bacon.  Have another salad instead.

And start your own topic, you long winded vegans!

It's sad you can't deal with discussion and so demand that 'vegans', as if they were an 'other' need to start special threads.

well now! damn all i wanted to know was if other guys craved bacon like i do  . really. then it turned into 3 pages of arguing. i didn't want a vegan vs. meat eater debate but that's what it turned into only half way through the first page *sigh*  it all was an interesting read though 

When you post in a public forum the thread is always bound to lead to places you never expected. Discussion is healthy. The topic was food, specifically meat, so....veganism is very much related. Everyone is entitled to contribute.

it all was an interesting read though  and to the person who started the whole vegan thing, you sounded like everything would be sunshine and puppies if everyone went vegan and stopped eating all animal meat.

That was SnailPace who first brought up veganism. But I presume you are speaking to me. I would like it if you are going to discuss something with me that you call me by my name, which is Niamh.

I am a mature young person who isn't a naive utopic believer. I never said veganism would make the world perfect. You said that. I just provided my two cents.

Basic social skills pretty much say if everyone is talking about their favorite rock band, that's not an opening for you to talk about how much better Tuvan throat singing is compared to Rolling Stones.

Actually, if you go back and read my first comment I talked about vegan bacon so actually it was on topic.

Sorry, but I gotta agree with Tekla. This topic was to talk about bacon cravings, not to feel guilty and have biased information shoved in our faces. If that way of eating works with your lifestyle so be it. Why preach to people? A couple of sentances isn't going to make us have an epiphany and stop eating meat.

Neither MorningStar or Lightlife Smart Bacon is that great of a replacement. The smart bacon just tasted like salted strips of nothing. I like MorningStars products, it has a mild bacon taste. They really need to come out with a better alterntive.

I have had one that was really decent but I don't know what the brand was or if it was home-made. If I do find I'll let you know..

Awesome thanks!

Bacon salt was a disappointment. It's much more salt than bacon. I don't normally salt foods. The only thing I regularly salt is triscuits.

I have had Celic Sea salt and Pink salt and they are both very good, though expensive. But it's the same old story, refined foods are always cheaper than the real thing. Salty soups are great.

I love meat. I always did but now it's like...I just need to eat meat at least once a day, because if not my body just don't get enough energy and I get dizzy.
And bacon... crispy almost burned bacon....oh ->-bleeped-<- I'm hungry right now.

do i even say anything at this point? this got really stupid, what i started because i thought it was funny and amusing is just irritating as hell now. people are arguing in a thread about bacon! I'm sick of typing bacon. i don't even think about food hardly only when I'm hungry pretty much and smell food. so niamh, i didn't want to point you out and embarrass you but you apparently want to be addressed personally, um that makes me immature? or were you thinking i thought you were immature? i honestly don't know. what is this really for? you just have to be right? you have to have the last word? you keep coming back to defend something completely pointless and stupid to argue about something this unimportant. and not just me, there's others who have pointed this out. i forgot snailpace said something about it first probably because it was this

I'm vegan so I hope I don't get a higher craving for meat.  It's finally gone away!  I'll have to resist.

and yours was even though you said earlier that you were in no one's face, how you worded it, yes, it is shoved in the faces of everyone who reads what you say, that's obviously going to annoy people and worse your twisting my words, no you didn't use the the word perfect but neither did i. you said all health problems would be gone and no one would need hospitals or doctors anymore which is in no way a fact. i get you were trying to suggest something that's going well for you but your being pretentious about it and anyone who disagrees with you gets more of this talk. except that last comment you said which...was directed at just anyone?

THANK YOU. i don't want to appear insulting or anything, but when it's gone on this far and it's lost all amusement and people are just irritated i won't be so polite anymore. goes to google to find out what tuvan throat singing is...*5 seconds later* oh my god it's a real thing!

I just did the same thing and had the same reaction. Man every time I see this thread in "show new replies" it makes me want bacon! *goes to hunt down bacon*

That will just get this topic locked.  If you have a problem with vegan fanaticism, you should report the people promoting it to the moderators.

Every time I hear the word "bacon", I want bacon. Every time I hear the word "vegan", I want bacon.

I would strongly advise against this...my mod stick is quite heavy and covered in spikes, I'd hate to have to use it. As for the vegan thing it's an interesting discussion, but i think it has run its course within this thread.

Would it make anyone jealous if I said my dad is making delicious, crispy bacon right at this moment? Mmm, the smell...haha

Yess, I am jealous. I am now going to make a grilled cheese with bacon.
