Bacon Shortage

[schuylaar]

okay this is serious now.

Bacon prices have skyrocketed to record levels, and they might not go down anytime soon

Bacon is more expensive for Americans than it has been in the past 40 years.

Threaten the wealthy and they will create hunger games

Don't they have simulated bacon? To put on your simulated chicken. Not sure if you can fake the lettuce though.

Ted Turner said that in about 15 to 20 years from now there will be a food shortage and people will be resorting to cannibalism. The fittest will survive and will be eating other people. So if cops are bacon they will quite possibly be the first ones eaten.

Ah yes, I remember bacon.

The last time I ate some bacon was in 1983.

long pig and bacon aren't the same thing, and never will be...cops have too much fat to make good bacon, even the (4 legged) pigs wouldn't eat them...

No, nothing so ominous. I stopped eating meat with very little outside influence.

One of the links from the article. Fuck large scale farmers.

Meat Plant Closures Mean Pigs Are Gassed or Shot Instead (Published 2020)

Coronavirus outbreaks at meatpacking plants have created a backlog of animals ready for slaughter but with nowhere to go. Farmers are having to cull them.

But meat with very little outside influence is the best meat there is.

 

[MICHI-CAN]

Again a troll!

NO SHORTAGE!!!

Corporate, capitalist interest refuse to pay new nation wide worker imposed wages and feeding on the pathetic excuse to claim shortages. Take your Eastern block anti us chit home.

ONLY A SHORTAGE OF TRUTH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!PIGS FROM HELL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And in California, new laws have passed and they're pissed off that they're not allowed to pack them into small pens anymore. They've had plenty of time to comply, but they've intentionally delayed making the changes needed so that they can create a shortage in the hopes that the people will put pressure on the politicians to change the laws and allow them to continue abusing animals again.

Nope. Keep your bacon and shove it up your ass.

Ya got it all wrong...
It's not bacon it's "pork belly"

 

[xtsho]

I still have a couple lbs of bacon I made that I need to eat. The next bacon I make is going to be buckboard bacon. Bellies are just too damn expensive.

I recently made a post on another thread about stocking up because the supply chain is collapsing.

We did another couple hundred in shopping today. I'm picking up a chuck roll and pork loin tomorrow. Got about 25 lbs of chicken today. Gotta keep the freezer full. Already grabbed 25 lbs of high gluten flour for making bread and I'll likely grab another 50 lb bag along with 50 lbs of jasmine rice. I'm also getting 50 lbs of assorted dried beans. I'm not getting caught without essentials if things get scarce this winter.

I always keep a stock of supplies. 6 months minimum on supplies.
