On a recent TV show, they mentioned that there really wasn’t much difference between turkey bacon and regular bacon. I decided to do a little research and here’s what I found.
They both have 2 grams of protein, 35 calories, 1 gram of Saturated Fat and 3 grams of total fat.
The turkey bacon has 15 mg of cholesterol while the regular bacon on 7.5 mg.
The turkey bacon has 180 mg of sodium, while the regular bacon has 145 mg.
It looks like regular bacon wins out in every category!
I’m wondering why turkey bacon can make the 50% less fat claim?
I notice that it does say when using USDA data – I wonder if that is old data for fatter pigs?
I recently visited a St. Louis organization whose sole purpose is to help people who are out of work. It’s called Businesspersons Between Jobs. www.bbj.org. I went there to to let them know about Toastmasters and how it might help people with their jobs interviews. I passed out a flier about our clubs upcoming Open House and briefly told them of the benefits of Toastmasters. I handed out 35 fliers. I also sent the same information to two people I know who are out of work.
Of the 37 people who knew about the meeting, only one showed up.
Guy Kawasaki talks about the need to go from Evolutionary to Revolutionary.
Unforunately, there’s a category before Evolutionary. I call it Rutionary.
These are people in a rut and either too lazy or too scared to get out of their rut.
That probably describes 90% of the population and in this case 36 out of 37 people.
A government sponsored study of Glucosamine/Chondroitin supplements show that there are zero benefits to using these supplements other than the placebo effect. This information came from the Dec. 2008 University of California, Berkley, Wellness Letter. Save your money.
Note – both my wife and I felt that Glucosamine might be helping us, but we’re stopping the supplements now.
