Global Bacon Shortage 'Unavoidable'

Posted by Unknown on Tuesday September 25, 2012 @08:17AM from the no-word-yet-on-facon-shortage dept.

New submitter The name is Dave. Ja debuts on the front page with the most dismal news of our time: "This is truly 'Stuff That Matters'. Where would civilization be today without bacon? I don't mean to be alarmist but ... sound the alarms! This is big — it could lead to civil unrest." Yes, a bacon shortage. Hopefully what bacon there is will be more delicious after being fed with gummi worms.

You can have all the bacon I don't eat.
You're welcome.

Except that from the linked story: "But ruminant animals such as cattle can safely ingest a wide variety of feedstuffs that chickens and hogs can't." The gummi worms story was about feeding cows, not pigs.
