Maybe the Chinese should diet more.

If we don’t have a strategic bacon reserve by now, why not?

One of the only things we won’t be able to blame Muslims for.

There won’t be a shortage unless some dingelheimers petition the government for price controls on bacon.

Hmmmm... so this is why they agreed to buy $40 billion of our ag products. That’s a lot of bacon.

almost a quarter of the world’s pork supply,”
Whoa! We always hear scare stories about new diseases and they seem to never live up to the hype. But that sounds serious.
To: Libloather
Why don’t we raise pigs here in the US and keep them healthy?
To: Libloather
Interesting. China has major food shortages at times, and yet still has a large enough surplus to export and the ability to undercut on prices.

They raise their pigstock in China-land, not the US?

FYI: Smithfield was bought by a Chinese Company a while back. Your bacon is red-owned!

If the Chinese will not pay the tariffs on American pigs, it looks like cheaper bacon for us.

To: Libloather
It’s NOT mentioned in the article the Chinese bought out Smithfield foods, they own 75%, and therefore the shortage we will have is due they are shipping it all to their country.
