In case you are not aware, we have a food crisis. Well, maybe it’s a cost of food crisis. But, I am talking one of the three major foods - bacon. The other two major foods are T-Bone steak and Twix candy bars. Both of those have gone up in price too. But, bacon is what gets the day started. No matter how bad the day is going to be, you can have a quiet moment and have a few slices of bacon and all is better.
A few weeks ago at the local store (not supermarket) a young lady at the register asked, "How is your day going? She really didn’t want to know, so I told her, "Bad and looking worse." She smiled sweetly as she rang up my purchases and said, "Well, at least you got bacon." That’s what I’m talking about.
Today at the store, bacon is priced so high, there was a crowd of people just standing around looking at it. A man I didn’t know commented, "Looks like I should take up hog farming." I agreed with him and bit the bullet and bought a pound of the cheaper brand. I am going to eat it all by myself.
Eating high on the hog used to mean one had some wealth. Now, it’s eating sow belly that shows you’ve got money. I no longer have money, since I bought a pound of bacon.
Now, I’m researching pig farming.
