    It's also an economic indicator.

          Neither: it's time to go Nom-nom-nom while we can still get some!

                I was thinking more along the lines of barley, hops and malt, but pizza, ice cream and chocolate sound good too. :-D

                  That is a drink, not food. Interesting fact: In Bavaria, beer is classified as food.

                      According to the web site 24/7 Wall Street[^]. 1. Bacon > 4-yr. change: +53% > 1-yr. change: +13% > Current price: $5.55 per lb. Sliced bacon cost an average of $5.55 per pound as of March, up from $3.63 per pound in January 2010. In the last year alone, the price of bacon increased 13%. One factor that may contribute to this recent increase may be the spread of Porcine Epidemic Diarrhea Virus (PEDv) in hogs. While PEDv poses no risk to humans or food safety, the disease is expected to cut into hog supplies. :(

                      I might have to start a bacon exporting business. My bacon at the local costs $7.99AUD per kg. Translated for you that is $3.30USD per lb. Got to love living in an agricultural country.

                        I blame the latest NAPA radio ads that have the line "a plate of bacon with a side of bacon smothered in bacon". What's that rumbling sound?
