Are you or your aging parents on a bacon-free diet?

After all bacon is dripping with fat which is very bad for the heart, whether you take heart medications or not.

So what can you do if you still crave that delicious smokey taste you can only get from bacon?

A new site called RealAge has some very delectable solutions.

Their taste testers have come up with several brands of substitute bacon which can go a long way in fooling the taste buds of even the biggest bacon fans.

Surprisingly the top brand is  made from veggies.  Morning Star Bacon Strips won the contest with strips that not only taste like the real thing but fry up just like we want.

Close seconds  were  Trader Joe's Applewood Smoked Turkey Bacon and Wellshire Farms Uncured All Natural Turkey Bacon.

There are also lots of reasonably good Runners Up.

It is very important to spice up your aging parents' food so they'll keep eating when they tend to lose their appetites.  Bacon substitutes can be used in a variety  of ways including salads and sandwiches.
