Bacon Prices Could Get Sizzling

Bacon prices could soon be on the rise following the Supreme Court's decision to uphold an animal, animal welfare law in California had to get it right because we cannot mess with bacon. So the law referred to as prop 12 in California requires all producers in the state to give their pigs at least 24 square feet of space in order for their meat to be sold. Well, according to data from the USDA wholesale, pork belly prices rose to $2.15 per pound on a Wednesday. That's close to its highest level that it reached last August. While some analysts believe that to avoid the California regulations, suppliers could move out of state. But that might actually push California pork prices even higher while pushing them down in the rest of the country where supply would then increase. So simple supply and demand Hanna. But I don't know bacon is in the middle. And I got to say for those of us on the east coast might make our breakfast sandwich a little less expensive. That is a very, very good point.
