BREAKING NEWS – U.S. Bacon Reserves Are At 50-Year Low
It seems that every day America wakes up to another crisis. The latest? U.S. bacon reserves are at a 50-year low. According to USA Today, we only had about 18 million pounds of frozen pork inventory as of December. For a bacon hungry nation of 300 million? You do the math. OK - I'll do it. That's about one ounce for every U.S. citizen.
We're gonna need more pork.
Hog farmers - you have my full support. 4-H kids - get to work.
