Bacon

[bojanglesman]

Obviously the glory that is bacon and all bacon-related topics deserve their own thread.  Probably a separate forum, but who am I to judge.

California might be regulating itself out of bacon.  I heard about this a few months ago from a friend that is Vice President of Bacon at Smithfield Foods.

"Bacon may disappear in California as pig rules take effect"

I would bet any amount of money that bacon doesn't disappear from CA

Oh I agree, but it could get quite expensive and hard to find for a while.

I mean to be fair they can just sell bacon that isn't from a pig

But this sounds completley like a California thing to do

I mean to be fair they can just tell bacon that isn't from a pig

It isn't the same.

Underground pig market gonna be lit

I'm just saying we shouldn't uncritically be taking the word of 1. manufacturers who don't want to improve their standards and 2. business owners complaining about a price increase. Both will exaggerate as much as possible rile up consumers.
