Bacon comes from animals and last I heard pigs are not endangered so I still like bacon.

You do realize that it takes a fair deal of time and resources to make a pig reach maturity to be harvested, right? And that pork is used for a bunch of other cuts and the simple act of harvesting the animal does mean instant bacon?

If they can't supply and process the cuts to keep up with demand, it becomes scarce, which is exactly what's happening now. Bacon is way the hell more expensive than it used to be just a few years ago and the packages are just getting smaller. Anyone who hasn't noticed isn't the one who buys the groceries.
