Is Bacon Part Of A Healthy Diet?

...or just a tasty addition and damn the consequences?

I like peameal bacon better.  Couple times a yr. doesn't hurt for the regular bacon.  I've never bought the latter for home to cook.  I only eat bacon at restaurants, etc.  I don't find it super enjoyable..all crispy, fatty and not much else.

About as healthy as lard.

As a kid my mom would make “fetches”.  Not sure if it’s a Dutch word but it sounds Dutch. Basically little chunks of pork fat fried in lard & then salted.  

I think my mom realized how bad it was for us so stopped making it but we had it often when I was younger.  

Freaking tasty but yeah basically eating pork fat fried in beef fat...

You say that like it’s a bad thing. I also love me some chicharrones (fried pork rind) with a bit of hot sauce. 

As a diabetic I try to avoid corn chips but when I get a bad hankering for chips & salsa, chicharrones & chunky salsa satisfies the cravings for me.

Pick your poison I guess, high cholesterol over high blood glucose...
