Time to prepare for yet another shortage.

According to new reports, pork products could be hard to come by this summer. While some products are already experiencing shortages, these may be made worse as restaurants reopen and people start having more social gatherings.

Some experts are predicting that outdoor events, like BBQs and cookouts, will be extremely popular this summer. Some experts are predicting that outdoor events, like BBQs and cookouts, will be extremely popular this summer. (iStock)

Some experts are predicting that outdoor events, like BBQs and cookouts, will be extremely popular this summer, Business Insider reports. This is reportedly due to the fact that while most Americans will be vaccinated by then, they’ll likely prefer outdoor events over indoor experiences.

These experts are also predicting that this will likely drive up the demand for meat, especially the types of meats cooked at BBQs. This includes a variety of pork products, such as hot dogs and bacon.

This will disproportionately affect pork people! The rich should pay their fair share, too!

Best way to create a shortage is for ‘MSM’ etal to say there MAY be a shortage.

The ‘sheeples’ will fall in line and clear the shelves, making the ‘prediction’ come to life.

I wonder if these so-called shortages are done so that people won’t be BBQing or getting together over the summer?????

Or stop eating pork. I stick to beef, chicken, lamb, and fish, enough there to keep me satisfied.

As long as it does not mess with our access to bacon, I’ll have a steak instead of pork.

This seemed to be the gist of the story, repeatedly.
