ATotallyNewUsername Posted September 27, 2012 Report Share Posted September 27, 2012 There are times when I look out onto the world and see all the greatness but for all the beauty this world we lay claim to possesses it can bring its own share of horror. Wars unnumbered, the fight against diseases and natural disaster so bad it seems as if the world itself is trying to shake us of its back. Now I read this article, the words engrained into my memory like so many terrible news reports that I have seen in my lifetime and I tremble at the thought. Where once lay a world of opportunity in a packet, a personification of goodness that one could devour with gusto now I see the ever declining amount. Every time I walk into a store and see bacon lining the shelves I shed a tear knowing that this may be the last time I can pick it up, place it in my basket and take it home, to love it as I would love my wife, or my children. Next time I pass through the automatic doors to fill my empty cupboards I fear that the two for £4 offer will be gone or, worse, there will be an empty space on the shelf and in my heart. All the good such a foodstuff has done may be cast back into the records of history. Some say it is a cure for hangovers, others that the smell could turn a vegetarian back to the ways of their ancestors. An wise man once told me that, in the treetops of the Amazon, a small tribe of people believe that it was cast from their God himself, at the beginning of the world, once they had tasted the sweet, crunchy nectar that is bacon. Lying at the feet of their statue is a mummified rasher, as tribute to their own God for the act he did and to the great man who brought such a substance to this tribe. Of course, as will all great substances, there are bad tales. It was once said a father would not rub the bacon on his own daughter, in order to employ its great healing properties, for he lusted after the food himself. But theses stories are a mere backdrop to the greatness that is Bacon and now I fear for the world more then ever. If this year is to be our last then I can see why; with Bacon gone the world may just tear itself apart, cast down the Governments and the ruling caste in anxiety at the loss of such a tasty food. The smell will no longer drift upstairs to stir a sleepy child, will not longer turn the heads of passer-bys to walk into a cafe, will no longer bring hope into the hearts of those lost to despair. Where once it inspiried good memories now it will only be a memory. Our children will no longer grow up to the taste, and to their children and their children's children Bacon will be just a myth. These are sad times. My friends, my brothers and sisters, fear not. While this terrible news may be true we must take heart, for while one of us yet lives the memory of Bacon lives on. The smell it creates, the feelings it stirs in our breast and the exquisite taste that hails us and we slide Bacon into our mouth. Fear not my friends, for Bacon will live on in us. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarknessX03 Posted September 29, 2012 Report Share Posted September 29, 2012 Switch to turkey bacon if bacon gets too expensive. Problem solved. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twilight Sparkle Posted September 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2012 Switch to turkey bacon if bacon gets too expensive. Problem solved. That's true. I was at the grocery store today and I saw normal pork bacon was double the normal price. Where as the turkey bacon was the same price. Tastes kinda the same so that's what we got. Sad part is that it's just not as greasy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chewin3 Posted September 30, 2012 Report Share Posted September 30, 2012 Could this start a war? "Wars have been started for less". But in all seriousness, it's not exactly a big deal. The outcome will possibly simply be an increase in meat prices in different ways, depending on timing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fiery Knight Posted September 30, 2012 Report Share Posted September 30, 2012 But in all seriousness, it's not exactly a big deal.

Chewin3 Posted October 1, 2012 Report Share Posted October 1, 2012 Increase in meat prices? How come? I only thought it meant bacon, not all sort of meat. It's simple, the feedlot operators who supply the vast majority of beef buy year-old cattle and then fatten them for the slaughter. As fattening gets more expensive, the price they’re willing to pay for the yearlings declines, so the price of cattle in the futures market goes down, reducing breeders’ profits. In the short-term, drought and expensive feed lead to pre-emptive slaughter and an abundance of cheap meat. In the medium-term, however, this process leaves you with fewer animals to bring to the table, hence increase in meat prices. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archangel Tyrael Posted October 1, 2012 Report Share Posted October 1, 2012 I hope it sorts out soon, it's not good when food starts to have a shortage (and in this case bacon) and meat start to rise in price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killerdude1635 Posted October 1, 2012 Report Share Posted October 1, 2012 Well, unless the Pig is going extinct, we can all safely assume that there is no shortage. EDIT: Oh wait, this is UK only, sorry guys, but sucks to be you! lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chewin3 Posted October 1, 2012 Report Share Posted October 1, 2012 ^Well UK bacon is very different than "American" bacon. Their bacon is from the back cut of the pig and corresponds to what people call “Canadian bacon.” Our beloved bacon, made from pork belly, is known in the United Kingdom as “streaky bacon.” In Canada, interestingly, “bacon” means the exact same thing as in the United States, and they use the term “back bacon” to refer to what we call “Canadian bacon” and English people just call “bacon.” Which is simply a long-winded way of saying that the pork supply issue has nothing in particular to do with bacon.
