I won't touch bacon for health (mine and the animals) reasons. Health is my religion.
My daughter is Jewish by birth but not so religious. When she came to stay with me at around 14 she asked me to buy turkey rashers "They taste just like bacon". Well I complied but afterwards, I contradicted her: "No vegetarian in the history of the world ever relented for a turkey rasher"
Also, bacon is a near-valid argument for God's existence lol
