It's time to start hoarding.
Am I going to be able to afford breakfast? 
News Headlines
"----the price of bacon —that sizzling, smoky comfort food we most need during tough times — is expected to surge."
"The reason for surging bacon prices is that hog farmers have pared their herds due to high feed costs after corn prices hit a record near $8 a bushel last month. Retail bacon prices hit $4.77 a pound in May, according to the Labor Department, and Rich Nelson, director of research at Allendale, told Reuters that it could reach near $6 a pound in the next few months."
I consume a pound of "Market Bacon" per week, 3 slices a day, myself.
I buy it for $2.50 a pound currently at Froogles supermarket.
Their market strategy is to charge cost plus 10%.
I wonder what the butcher is going to say when I buy a years worth ($130) on my next visit?
