The United States is facing a bacon surplus crisis. Bacon lovers must rise to the occasion and eat more bacon. It's the right thing to do.

NO!

A surplus is a good thing. Bacon prices come down, so I can buy more bacon.

My thoughts exactly. I'll be able to eat more bacon when the prices come down. As it stands, I can find steaks on sale for bacon prices.

It's kind of a depressing condition to be in.
But, one must soldier on.

Post by: RocketMan on October 23, 2019, 05:09:22 PM: The price of bacon hasn't gone down here either. I suspect it's because we're switching from the more expensive summer blend of bacon to the more expensive winter blend of bacon.

Seriously, I stumbled across an article recently that said there is actually a bacon shortage. I didn't read it because I wouldn't have been able to handle the bad news. It's certainly interesting that there are conflicting reports about bacon availability.
