#Fakin'Bacon


While this week has brought many problems (horrible #NFL refs, it only being Tuesday and the fact that we'll have to wake up a little bit earlier to defrost the car windshield now) this is definitely the biggest of problems.

Apparently because of harsh drought conditions this year that killed many corn & soybean crops there will be a world shortage of pork (bacon) next year...this is not okay!

Typically food shortages don't bother me since I'm a picky-eater and most likely wouldn't eat said food anyways, however loosing a year of crispy-bacon-goodness... it just won't work! I am what some may call a "flexitarian" (I stick to a diet that is not vegetarian, but includes less meat than the typical diet) and I tend to love bacon whenever I get the chance to eat it!
A whole year without this? What else will 2013 bring?!
As I mentioned, I'm a picky-eater so bacon is one of the few pieces of meat that I will actually eat. I think it's all about the texture... I'll eat bacon but I won't eat a pulled-pork sandwich. I know, I know... it's weird, but I am more about the crunchy texture as opposed to anything chewy when it comes to eating meats so a good helping of crispy bacon is always fine by me!

What will we do when there won't be enough to fill up a plate of it during Sunday brunch?! It's just an awful thing to think about. I imagine many companies will start coming out with their own fake bacon products (what I like to classify as #fakin'bacon.)

All I know is the next time I go grocery shopping I will be coming home with some more packs of bacon than usual just in case!

Stay saucy & start stocking up now!
