Also, here's another. When I say "I want it as spicy as possible" I mean it. Not sort of spicy. Not "oh I'll take a sip of water" spicy. I want my nose to run and my chest to feel like it's on fire for at least an hour afterward. The skin peeling off my lips is possible. I ordered some Thai noodles today and they told me it was a "10" on the spicy scale. I'd say 6.5 tops.

I never noticed that in the store, though I wasn't really looking either. but hey, it's worth a try. Does it taste close enough to "real" bacon that it could fool my husband?

Ain't that the truth. I think I'm still feeling sick from eating "Chinese Food" in Mt. Vernon, Iowa seven years ago.

And they told me it's their mild..

BTW, you may not have noticed it because the reduced sodium turkey bacon is a new product from Oscar Mayer.

From Wikipedia,
There is no such thing as "turkey bacon", let alone "reduced sodium turkey bacon." 
Bacon is a cured meat prepared from a pig ...
Meat from other animals, such as beef, lamb, chicken, goat, or turkey, may also be cut, cured, or otherwise prepared to resemble bacon, and may even be referred to as "bacon".[2] Such use is common in areas with significant Jewish and Muslim populations.[3] The USDA defines bacon as "the cured belly of a swine carcass"

I will eat just about any food put in front of me, except for a banana. Cant stand the smell, the taste, or the texture. If someone is eating a banana near me, I have to actually get up as the smell makes me nauseous. Having said that, I love banana flavored Runts.

It's not bad, but it is not going to fool a single soul on earth unless they are without at least three of the five senses. @:-)

Just a couple of random rules:
- don't overeat
- eat less often, but more (contrary to what diet gurus say about eating little, but more often)
- skip breakfast entirely, have a big, big lunch, and then a very light dinner like sushi, fruits, and wine
- cut down on fat as much as possible
- try to drink more wine than beer
- no junk food like burgers and pizzas unless I make them myself, out of quality ingredients, and even then I only eat stuff like rarely - haven't had any in the last 12 months in fact
- no added sugar in juices
