Bacon (you know you want to click it just cuz it says bacon)

[Jack D.]

So I read another article on how eating 2 strips of bacon a day/week/month etc will give me colon cancer but I don't care about that (what you can't see can't hurt you!). What I want to know is how they figure the calories in "a serving" of bacon. Do the package numbers refer to raw uncooked bacon or cooked and drained bacon?

All I know is a buttload of fat renders when I cook it and it's hard to imagine that in a crisp - but not rock hard - strip of bacon there's significantly more calories than fried pork skin (chicharrons).
