Thread Name: BS: Does a bacon shortage concern you?
Subject: RE: BS: Does a bacon shortage concern you?
I dunno about where youse are but I have seen bacon on sale here where the sign says the regular price is about a million dollars a pound over what I would pay for salted pork fat... a lot of it is just that. It's ludicrous. Yet, I see people buying it. It's unreal to me.

The big groceries buy the meat processing plants here and shut them down?... our chickens are now trucked a thousand miles, processed and trucked a thousand miles back to us and the price is double? WTF is that? But, again, I see people buying the stuff at the big grocery store. Newfoundland supplies New Brunswick with chicken at a decent price? Fuck Quebec and Ontario and their big money... bastards! But, the real tragedy is that they are slowly squeezing the local Coops out so that soon, they can triple their prices. Triple is better than double, eh?
