Porkin' Up

US pigs are too fat for holiday hams this year after farmers overfed them in the wake of a deadly virus that killed millions.

So your Xmas ham will be more expensive -- or the Thanksgiving ham, for you weird ones who don't gobble the turkey on Pilgrim & Indian Gluttony Day. But there's good news, too:

Not all pork is getting more expensive. Heavier hogs are helping to revive meat output...The wholesale cost of pork bellies, used to make bacon, dropped 27 percent

Woot! Cheaper bacon! Bring on the fatties, baby! You should consider adding bacon to your holiday meals this year. Because really, is there anything that isn't better with bacon? (Well, except ice cream... NOT better with bacon. Just trust me.)
