It's actually cured, and it's not better for you. When was the last time you read a story where the villain was celery? Pull up a chair.
The issue is that "uncured" bacon is actually cured. It's cured using exactly the same stuff — nitrite — used in ordinary bacon. It's just that, in the "uncured" meats, the nitrite is derived from celery or beets or some other vegetable or fruit naturally high in nitrate, which is easily converted to nitrite. In ordinary bacon and cured meats, the nitrite is in the form of man-made sodium nitrite. But the nitrite molecule is the same, no matter its source.

Eating a call girl for breakfast should help your diet.
Finding a call girl who calls herself "Breakfast" is not really likely be considered part of a healthy lifestyle, though (even if she arrives with another two girls called "Lunch" and "Dinner")
