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.”

Good luck finding any that is less than 90% fat when it's on sale! And say... with all those feral hogs running amok in the South, why don't we whack them by the thousands and keep the bacon coming?

Stop feeding corn to your hogs. Feed them sheep scraps instead. Ask British cattle farmers how well that worked out for them.

That's actually a good idea.

I sleep on a bed of Canadian bacon. Wake up in the morning full of energy and ready to go! On the weekends I slice a little of the foot of the bed to eat for breakfast. So by next fall when the crops come back - My feet will be hanging off the bed but I will have continued to sate my bacon appetite.

I've had a couple good ones, but grab you a chunk from a big old feral boar and let me know how it comes out of the skillet for you. There is a huge difference between the high quality pork US consumers have become accustomed to and what's running around eating anything it can find.

In some areas you're advised not to even eat pigs from the feral herds. They encourage you to kill, take your pictures, and destroy.

It's far more comfortable and provides great lumbar support when arranged properly.

I'll believe you for now but keep a raised eyebrow in your direction...
