US bacon prices are rising after a deadly virus spreads through farms killing millions of piglets. A pound of bacon averaged $5.46 a few months ago. "That's 13 percent more than a year ago."

This is also being reported by The CS Monitor and CBS.

    Am I the only one that doesn't really care for bacon?

    Yes.

    Is bacon really that magical?

    Yes.

    Should I be ashamed that I like the baked potato more than the bacon bits on top?

    Yes.
