Yep. I know that they already have a ton of fat on them but they still stick to the pan if I don't.

Try putting a bit of water in with the bacon to get it going and use a slightly lower heat. It takes longer but you should end up with crispy bacon.
Put a bit of water in? Every rasher of bacon I've ever cooked looks like it's had a pint of water pumped into it to boost its weight

Do you mean what you guys call "streaky bacon"? Over here in Canada we must have different rules about what is allowed in the processing.Put a bit of water in? Every rasher of bacon I've ever cooked looks like it's had a pint of water pumped into it to boost its weight
Anyway I have "gone off" bacon and all other pork products. More of a health concern that anything - I don't actually miss it, believe it or not!
You don't eat bacon, and you don't drink coffee? Life can't be worth living

That reminded me of an Adam Ant song.

I think I am becoming a freak of nature now that I am getting older!You don't eat bacon, and you don't drink coffee? Life can't be worth living
Although I did go to Starbucks today and cashed in my free birthday drink. I got an extra shot of decaf espresso - the girl says it will fool my body into thinking I am actually getting real coffee.
I still allow myself beer, wine, or whatever else is being offered in terms of alcoholic drinks.
I'm not condemning others who eat bacon or drink coffee - in fact apparently coffee is an antioxidant - it is just an experiment I am trying for now to see how it feels.
Also trying to drink lots and lots more water and taking an acidophilus tablet (as well as eating the Greek yogurt) - I'll let you know how long I can hold up.

Don't drink, don't smoke - what do you do?
Sounds like you are buying it from a supermarket...they add water for weight. Bacon from meat shops is usually real. It is not naturally wet.Put a bit of water in? Every rasher of bacon I've ever cooked looks like it's had a pint of water pumped into it to boost its weight
De-caff gives me headache, so I have to make my customers aren't giving me it. I've always drunk lots of water. I once tried to give up coffee, did it a bit too quick though, and got the worst headache I'd ever had.

I worked with this Jewish guy, and we went out for lunch at work, and he ordered an omelette, and it didn't say there was ham in it, and I think he asked the waitress, anyway, he found out that there was ham in it, and he got this bad look on his face and started that sought of semi-spew spasm, and told me he had to go to the men's.

That is pretty serious - when it is against his faith/beliefs to eat pork and someone fools him into it, it is no wonder that he wanted to vomit.
It would be the same for a Muslim - devout Muslims will not get tattoos or eat pork.
