    U.S. Bacon Reserves Hit 50-Year Low!

    Pig farmers are struggling to keep up with the vast U.S. appetite for bacon, causing reserves to hit the lowest level in 50 years and sending prices flying upward. “Today’s pig farmers are setting historic records by producing more pigs than ever,†said Rich Deaton, president of the Ohio Pork Council. “Yet our reserves are still depleting.†Deaton reported Tuesday that demand for frozen pork belly is outpacing farmers’ ability to produce and sell.

    They have bacon reserves? Where is it? Maybe deep in a salt mine under Cleveland?

    I can't imagine life without it. If you love bacon and are ever in Tucson go to the restaurant named 'Oink'. There's even crumbled bacon on their biscuits!

    That's why my wife gave me 25 lbs of Boarshead super thick Bacon for Christmas.

    My wife is the best.

    I wonder if she also took out a million-dollar life insurance policy at about the same time.
