    ...And yet I keep hearing that bacon will supposedly cease to exist by some point in my lifetime...>_< I have noticed that this surplus is doing absolutely nothing to reduce bacon prices.

        I 'member-berry hearing about this "supply and demand" thing back in school actually causing prices to go DOWN when surpluses exist, rather than just the opposite. Guess my teachers WERE wrong
