This couldn\u2019t be further from the truth. Here, we explain why switching to a plant-based diet can be one of the most exciting things you can do \u2013 and we use vegan bacon to make our point!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Does Being Vegan Mean I Have To Give Up Bacon?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Many people who are reluctant to try veganism will grumble about all the things they have to give up. \u201cI love full English breakfasts,\u201d they\u2019ll say. \u201cToo much to stop eating bacon!\u201d But what if we were to tell you that you can go vegan and don\u2019t have to remove any of the foods you love from your life? It sounds too good to be true but, really it isn\u2019t!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most vegans were meat-eaters before they made a change. We guarantee you that most of us didn\u2019t give up meat because we didn&#8217;t like the taste! So, when we switched to veganism we wanted to continue eating versions of the meals we\u2019d previously savored and enjoyed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thankfully, a number of companies spotted a gap in the market for this and realized there was quite a large group of people they could cater to if they created the right products. So, in the last few years, we\u2019ve seen an explosion in amazing plant-based products aimed at us. Browsing high street menus and scanning supermarket aisles today will quickly uncover everything from vegan pulled pork to <a href=\"https:\/\/veganuary.com\/en-us\/what-is-foie-gras\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">faux gras<\/a>, dairy-free &#8216;milk&#8217; chocolate to animal-free <a href=\"https:\/\/veganuary.com\/en-us\/vegan-chicken-alternatives\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">chicken burgers<\/a>\u2026 and, perhaps most excitingly, vegan bacon!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Vegan Bacon Alternatives? Tell Me More!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Pig-less bacon has been a popular staple of many vegetarian and vegan diets for a long time now. Colloquially it\u2019s been given the nickname \u201cFacon\u201d &#8211; a portmanteau of \u201cfake\u201d and \u201cbacon\u201d. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These are some of the best vegan bacon substitutes we\u2019ve tried:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>All Vegetarian Vegan Bacon Slices<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Be Leaf Foods Bacon Strips<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Hooray Foods Plant-Based Bacon<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Lightlife Smart Bacon<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Sweet Earth Benevolent Bacon<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Tofurky Smoky Maple Bacon Marinated Tempeh<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Upton&#8217;s Naturals Bacon Seitan<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Did you know that McCormick\u2019s Bac&#8217;n Pieces are entirely plant-based? And that Cool Foods makes vegan bacon bits out of pinto beans?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"799\" src=\"https:\/\/veganuary.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/vegan-bacon.jpg\" alt=\"Fried crunchy plant based vegan Bacon pieces in a cast iron skillet\" class=\"wp-image-119055\" srcset=\"https:\/\/veganuary.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/vegan-bacon.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/veganuary.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/vegan-bacon-400x266.jpg 400w, https:\/\/veganuary.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/vegan-bacon-768x511.jpg 768w, https:\/\/veganuary.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/vegan-bacon-800x533.jpg 800w, https:\/\/veganuary.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/vegan-bacon-150x100.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Image Credit: AdobeStock<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Does Vegan Bacon Taste Like Bacon??<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes! Usually made from tempeh or seitan, plant bacon manages to approximate the texture of the real thing pretty accurately, the taste is fantastic and it even has a distinct smell that is likely to turn the heads of even the most stubborn non-vegan in your life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is worth shopping around to find your favorite. If you didn\u2019t particularly like maple-flavored meat bacon, we don\u2019t think you\u2019d enjoy the vegan equivalent either; if you do, then why not try Tofurky\u2019s version? The way you prepare your vegan bacon can make a big difference too! Stick to the cooking methods you&#8217;re already used to when you try a new product. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you can\u2019t locate a vegan bacon you love after your first try (this is admittedly unlikely!), it doesn\u2019t mean it\u2019s not out there. Or even if you track down one you love (much more probable!), there could exist an even better vegan bacon perfectly matched to your taste buds and ready to be discovered. Trying many different kinds of bacon is a joyous and delicious endeavor!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Is Vegan Bacon Better Than Actual Bacon Then?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We might be biased but we certainly think so! We\u2019ve mentioned the variety of tastes and flavors and we haven\u2019t even begun to address the other benefits of switching to vegan bacon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Trying plant-based means that no animals will be harmed in the making of your breakfast which, when you have the choice of enjoying a great meal AND making sure <a href=\"https:\/\/veganuary.com\/en-us\/truth-factory-farmed-pigs\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">pigs get left alone<\/a>, seems a no-brainer to us. Pigs are one of the most intelligent domesticated animals and can feel intense distress and pain. We can have delicious fake bacon and allow pigs to live lives free of human-inflicted misery if we so choose, so why not? On top of this, we know that animal agriculture is responsible for great environmental damage, and eating a plant-based equivalent can reduce our impact on the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even on a selfish level, swapping meat for a vegan equivalent is good for us. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/news\/2018\/mar\/01\/bacon-cancer-processed-meats-nitrates-nitrites-sausages\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">links between bacon and cancer<\/a> are well-known and well-documented. We can reduce our risks today with some small modifications to what we eat. Vegan bacon can make up part of a high-quality, flavorsome, and nutritious diet if we make plans to balance what we put on our plates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Okay, But What About Cheese?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Even more than bacon, we hear many people tell us: \u201cI would go vegan but\u2026. cheese!\u201d Thankfully, we\u2019ve got an answer for this one too \u2013 going vegan doesn\u2019t mean giving up any of the products you like. We\u2019re here to help advise you on <a href=\"https:\/\/veganuary.com\/en-us\/dairy-alternatives\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">dairy alternatives<\/a> to milk, yogurt, and ice cream, plant-based substitutes for meat, and, for cheese-lovers, we recommend reading our guide to the <a href=\"https:\/\/veganuary.com\/en-us\/best-vegan-cheese\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">best vegan cheese<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Going vegan doesn\u2019t mean giving up anything you love; it means discovering new things! New alternatives, and entirely new ingredients and flavors you might not have otherwise stumbled upon. Switching to (or at least trying) plant-based is an exciting time in anyone\u2019s life and we hope you join us in discovering new foods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/veganuary.com\/en-us\/try-vegan\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Try vegan<\/a> with us.
