If we don’t have a strategic bacon reserve by now, why not?

There won’t be a shortage unless some dingelheimers petition the government for price controls on bacon.

Hmmmm... so this is why they agreed to buy $40 billion of our ag products. That’s a lot of bacon.

“almost a quarter of the world’s pork supply,”

Whoa! We always hear scare stories about new diseases and they seem to never live up to the hype. But that sounds serious.

Why don’t we raise pigs here in the US and keep them healthy?

Interesting. China has major food shortages at times, and yet still has a large enough surplus to export and the ability to undercut on prices.

“Virginia-based Smithfield Foods Inc., the world’s biggest pork producer”

They raise their pigstock in China-land, not the US?

FYI: Smithfield was bought by a Chinese Company a while back. Your bacon is red-owned!

If the Chinese will not pay the tariffs on American pigs, it looks like cheaper bacon for us.

It’s NOT mentioned in the article the Chinese bought out Smithfield foods, they own 75%, and therefore the shortage we will have is due they are shipping it all to their country.
