WASHINGTON (NEWS10) – The country’s bacon reserves are at the lowest level in half a century.
The demand for bacon is outpacing the supply and pig farmers just can’t keep up with the world’s appetite for it.
Right now, the U.S. inventory is 7.8 million pounds, the lowest since 1957.
They’re not going to run out but expected to be paying more for bacon.

Crikey! What happened to the Strategic Bacon Reserve??!?
To: digger48
EVERY bite of bacon is just a PLEASURE.
If I had a choice of bacon or chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream to eat I would choose the BACON!

This is YUGE! Somebody do something! Let’s block the airports!

WHY?!?!?! Did we drop the other half of it on Mecca or something?!

The more Muslims that come into the country, the greater our need for bacon.

This is hugh and series.
Blame it on Trump. When America is getting great again, men want some bacon to celebrate. Lots of yummy meat candy cooked by American women who don’t dress as vaginas.

What happened to the Muslim cartel against pork? Is this the revenge of the deplorables?

To: digger48
What about all those pigs on the Capitol Mall a few weeks ago?
Nah, never mind, already rancid and just spoiled.

This is a strategic crisis. Just how are we to make America great again if we have insufficient bacon supplies???
To: digger48
Luckily I’ve got the stockpile I’ve been saving up since 1971. Back then they said bacon would only get cheaper, but I knew better.

I stopped eating bacon when it became more expensive than beef.

Between two slices of bacon, I hope!
