Michelle says pork is bad for you.
Eat Tofu with bean sprouts instead.

No, record increases in food prices have nothing to do with massive government debts and Federal Reserve money printing and QE. In fact, the government’s own statisticians tell us inflation is a very low 1.1%, and why would they lie?
It just has to do with pig virus, bad weather, shrimp disease, drought in California, frost in Argentina, snow in NY, etc... Nope, nothing to do with government-induced inflation.

When people can not obtain pork or beef, they will turn to chicken. The demand for that resource will drive up prices and squeeze supplies. Large quantities of grain are moving out of the midwest over recent days as well. It appears an attempt to squeeze food supplies is underway.

This is the first Easter I can remember that I couldn’t get a ham at Safeway for 99c/lb. It’s $1.29 this time.

When there was no meat we ate fowl. When there was no fowl we ate crawdads. When there was no crawdads to be found we ate sand.

My kids don’t understand why I have been storing food.
I am still eating the peanut butter I bought for .79 a jar.
Now I am storing pork.

From the sounds of this, I am very glad I do not have to clean up pig diarrhea.

Some fiber should help out, or cheese.

I just paid $5 for a pack of measly looking pork chops. Wanted to make chile verde and that was the cheapest pork with a small amount in the package. It’s just me so didn’t want to make too much.

Ummm, large quantities of grain move out of the Midwest every day. That's how farmers make a living.

I wonder if the virus will somehow get transferred to wild hogs. If not, then we can get our own pork. Apparently they are moving north through the Blue Ridge and are in northern VA. What do you use to safely shoot a wild hog?
