Forget Football!-Bacon Shortage Inevitable!
This is BAD BAD NEWS!

I can't watch Football without me some Bacon!

http://www.inquisitr.com/341886/baco...g-association/


A sad day is coming. The world will soon have to do without bacon. Yes, the world may soon be forced tosay goodbye to 100% bacon burgers, bacon milkshakes, and bacon bras.

The Huffington Post reports that Great Britain is in the middle of a bacon crisis and the problem could soon go global. The UK’s National Pig Association warned today that a ”world shortage of pork and bacon next year is now unavoidable.”

The organization writes:

“New data shows the European Union pig herd is declining at a significant rate, and this is a trend that is being mirrored around the world. Pig farmers have been plunged into loss by high pig-feed costs, caused by the global failure of maize and soya harvests. All main European pig-producing countries report shrinking sow herds.”

Extreme heat in North America is partially responsible for the bacon crisis. Farmers across the country have had to raise crop prices due to that drought and that has caused the price for animals like pig to skyrocket.

Some farmers have resorted to supplementing their cattle feed with candy in order to keep costs down. The USDA estimated earlier this year that the drought would cause food prices to rise nearly 4% next year.

Richard Volpe, a USDA economist, said:

“The drought is really going to hit food prices next year. It’s already affecting corn and soybean prices, but then it has to work its way all the way through the system into feed prices and then animal prices, then wholesale prices and then finally, retail prices.”

You ever done the baseball player's forearm workout?

Basically, you tie a 5# weight to a rope and stick and wrap the rope around the circumference of the stick by twisting it with your hands, letting the weight dangle below to provide resistance to your wrapping effort.

We used to do those from lofts, where you had to wrap 15-20 feet of rope just to raise the weight from the ground to arm height.

Your boars will thank you for the effort.

Heh, yes I have. Growing up in Indy I was a baseball player when young. I used to be a pitcher , threw 3 no-hitters in one season including a game where I struck out every batter except for the first one which I inadvertently hit in the head. But yes I have done those. I used to spend hours just doing wrist curls till I couldn't do them any more. Didn't know it was all leading to a career other than baseball. Dammit !

And now you're a catcher (for boars, that is)?

I salute you, Mr. Hog Farmer, and rise to my feet to stand in reverent honor of your superb and inspiring attitude in the face of such an enormous challenge.

For as we know, there is nothing that one cannot accomplish through the power of positive thinking.

Or, in this particular case, the Pig Million Effect.
