Frighteningly, Bac-O's (or however you spell the crunchy little bits for tossing onto salad, the brand-name ones) are actually vegetarian.
But the point of veggie bacon, more or less, is that it's soy-protein to substitute into a similar spot in either breakfast or a BLT; fills the same nutritional niche, if that can be said of bacon at all, without being a meat, in a familiar form. Which doesn't change the fact that, compared to the real thing, it's crap.
