I will try this, since bacon is so popular now. And I'm sorry, I mean no offence when I say this, but the food police on food websites are getting to be too much! They see a recipe they know has to be fattening, high in cholesterol, etc., and then feel compelled to make us all aware of how terrible that recipe is, then rate it with a low rating when they wouldn't even dream of making it, let alone tasting it! Please don't! It's very annoying and it doesn't accomplish anything other than make you obnoxious! It's not so much WHAT you eat, as it is how MUCH you eat! Besides, Fast food is the real problem... If you must police, please go police the patrons at Fast Food restaurants. Thank you.

Can the real bacon pieces that you find in the salad dressing aisle be substituted?

I bet these taste great, but with high cholestrol, I bet they're a heart attack ready to happen.
