Slate says that the price will go up, but there is no reason to stock up. The so-called "bacon shortage" is a lot of hype. They report that the the UK bacon is not what the US calls bacon, plus the real problem is corn. All food prices will be headed up due to the drought, but there is no real shortage. No need to panic.0 -

Thank you for helping to thwart the spread of misinformation!
I work in meat procurement...I literally trade millions of pounds of both beef and pork on a daily basis. If anything the kill is up, compensating for the loss during the cattle pullback when corn price spiked. I've been buying at much cheaper prices and our analyst project record lows well through the holiday season.
The media and their ignorance...If you don't know about something...Just stfu yanno?
BSE (madcow), FTB (pink slime), now this? C'mon Man..0 -

Cornmeal is a primary resource of feedlots for livestock here in the USA.0 -

And they called me mad for eating turkey bacon!0 -
If you saved all the food scraps people leave on their plates in every restaurant in America, you could feed enough pigs so that everyone could have some bacon.0

Well that's a relief. I thought I might have to eat my dress.

I love bacon who don’t, but as often as I eat it I don’t care what it cost. Ever try making your own beef jerky?0

No it is not.
