Who's been raiding the fridge - Bacon Reserves at 59 year low. - GGD - 02-01-2017
I didn't even know we had a national bacon reserve, but we do and it's getting low.
But cheese reserves are up, so you might want to order the cheese burger instead of the bacon burger.

Sound the alarms: The pork used to make bacon is at the lowest level since Dwight D. Eisenhower was president.
A report from the United States Department of Agriculture said the supply of frozen pork belly, from which bacon is cut, is at its lowest level since Dec. 1957, according to the Ohio Pork Council. The total pork inventory dropped 41 million pounds last month alone.
The Jan. 24 USDA report said the frozen pork belly stock was down 4 percent from Nov. 2016 and 67 percent from the same time in 2015.
The record high was set in 1988 when there were more then 113 million pounds of pork belly in cold storage. This month, though, the record low was set at less than 18 million pounds.
But the news isn't all bad: The same report said total natural cheese stocks in refrigerated warehouses was up 2 percent from the previous month and 5 percent from the previous year.[/quote[

If we have so much cheese, then why is the ubiquitous medium cheddar so much a pound?

" refrigerated warehouses"
"happy cows and goats"
" animal flatulence taxes" ?
with the dollar up against the euro I'm betting imports are up and exports are down
does cheap milk and a glut help produce warehouses full of cheese ?
the last three pound bag of shredded sharp cheddar I bought was under $2.50 a pound.

Is there like a Pork Ft. Knox somewhere?
I might start planning my version of "The Italian Job" for that treasure!

It happened in Canada with their "Strategic Maple Syrup Reserve".
