America is running low on bacon

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.

If you want that turkey bacon to be edible cook it in real bacon fat.

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

We call that a lack of commitment. ;-)

Is this because of a PETA, a VEGANN, or a Muzzie Conspiracy?

I vaguely remember the can was white with a blue label. I was a kid when we had it, we used to have it when camping.

Here in Florida wild boars are a big problem and it seems this could solve that issue unless wild boars don’t taste the same as farm raised hogs. Either way it seems there would be plenty of bacon to go around if there was a market for wild board bacon...

In the immediate future we must require immigrants to be pig farmers.

Is that graphic from Animal House? I must have seen that movie 20 times and I never thought Kevin Bacon was in it.

The breed of hogs I raise are called "Bacon Pigs". I have yet to find a frying pan to accommodate the slices for frying.

This will be quick!

I have to run to the store to stock up.

I eat bacon to fight global warming. A study determined that salads contribute more to global warming than bacon.

Save the planet! Eat more bacon!
