Cost of bacon up 53% in last 4 years
-
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'm on-line therefore I am. JimmyRopesI 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?
