    I myself love bacon, I crave more salty stuff verses the sweets too. I cook a whole package when cool put in a zip lick bag and snack away. Since I have a hard time eating meats I dont feel bad for snacking on this. I had my band done March 2011 and ive lost 109 pounds....hoping for skin surgery soon
