A Global Bacon Shortage Is Coming

[Jay 2K Winger]

A bacon shortage?!



Dear god NO!



Whyyyyyy?!



I can't tolerate a world without bacon!

Luckily the world will end in three months or so, so we don't have to experience this horror.

There had to be a silver lining to the end of the Mayan calendar.

No bacon???

The horror!!!!

I wonder if it's related to the corn shortage.

You see around here most corn is grown for feed (dunno if any is for fuel) iirc and most of the crops died this summer from the heatwave. And not just locally but apparently across the state and in neighboring states as well.


although bacon is still in plenty here - pork is king here in the south. but this should be interesting.

That's how I heard it on the news. The drought in the US causing corn shortages which meant that farmers had to sell pigs that they couldn't feed early and at a much lower price causing a glut in the market. Within 6 months that glut will have worn out and there won't be enough pigs to cover production after that.

That is all.

that makes sense.

we had to drive almost halfway across the state here to go to a roller derby event once and i was rather shocked at how much death I saw in the cornfields.


I can only imagine that's going to fuck with gas prices too.

Better start stocking the fridge now!

Relax my friends.....

The subtitle says it all:

How a British trade association press release sent the Internet into a senseless panic

Also look into making your own.

That subject was the basis for this editorial cartoon that appeared in my local paper Thursday.

I think it says it all:

Odd....it was reported in the capital city's newspaper the other day that Iowa has a RECORD crop of hogs this year. Hmm. Could Iowa cure the worldwide bacon crisis? Haha!

[telecom_goddess]

That is all.

Holy crap where did you find that?

So I dunno about a bacon shortage, still have to read the article. I did hear about the heatwaves all over though
