Say It Ain't So!

   It's unfortunately true. We could be facing a bacon shortage. Thanks to a pig epidemic, producers are having difficulties with their swine operations, which will mean a bacon shortage.
   And we will notice it too. Already, some butchers have started reducing the weight in packaged bacon, in some cases going to 375 from 500 grams. And the best part is the price will not be going down.
   It was bad enough finding out about the shortage of limes (I bought a single lime at a local store and paid $1.49 for it), but bacon? That's almost a staple of life!
   If it keeps getting too expensive, I guess I'll have to give up bacon wrapped limes.
