...No need to worry, bacon lovers.
News earlier this week that near-record low reserves of pork bellies could result in a nationwide bacon shortage is hogwash...
...it’s true that reserve pork bellies, which are used to make bacon, are low, the bacon supply hasn’t been affected...
...Americans love their bacon, eating 18 pounds per person per year on average...
...At any one time there are about 20 million pigs being raised in Iowa and about four million in Illinois.
