Bacon shortage? 🤣🤣

[southbayer]

It seems some cruisers here say that bacon is available once again, so good news on that front.

I hope it is true fleet-wide and the restaurants and parties they closed due to staffing issues reopen soon as well.

Production will be shifted to other plants.

Indeed, no company (well, other than Tesla and their moody owner/CEO/whatever) shuts down a plant without the "backup plan" already in motion if not fully operational. But it makes for a nice headline! 

 

But not great news for those companies that were purchasing pork products from it or a local distributor.

 

So now add in the cost of shipping via multiple states and those costs passed on to customers or companies. Shipping companies don't absorb high gas prices out the goodness of their heart.

There's plenty of thick bacon for breakfast in the Bloody Mary's served at the Pig & Anchor Bar on the Mardi Gras, just sayin 🙂

It must be the lower cost option since California adopted the Porkers Have Rights, Too bill.

Don't forget baby formula manufacturers also shut down, but just feed the babies bacon!

Does that mean babies only get to eat every other day?

Well, Smithfield has dozens of plants to choose from.

Bacon as in short supply on the buffet on Carnival Pride out of Dover. Some days not available, or served by the staff. Not sure why, as there is no shortage in the UK that I know off. 
 

Best wishes, Stephen.
