A diarrhea disease is killing piglets and pushing pork prices higher, according to the Associated Press. The virus, which apparently doesn't affect humans, has spread to 27 states and Canada. Can you envision the frown on my face? First for concern over the increasing number of viruses affecting our food supply. Second because of the number of piglets dying. And last because, well.....bacon, bacon, bacon!
Aside from just being good, bacon has so many uses in cooking. And the pig provides so many meat options. I know. That is selfish. But it's true.
So prepare to pay up for this American staple. Or learn to forgo it. Unfortunately, this may be one meat missing from plates for a while.
