America's Expensive Love for Bacon

Have you bought bacon lately? Notice those outrageous prices? Bacon has become very expensive lately, and me personally, I wouldn't waste my money on something that we don’t necessarily need.

I disagree with the expensive process of bacon these days for many reasons. One, the pigs are suffering because YOU want bacon, which applies to science by the killing the pigs based on whats inside of them. Two, for the people who can’t even pay their bills, shouldn't be buying bacon when they could be buying clothes for their kids or school supplies for the year.

I read an article about the bacon prices rising. It said that we are spending on average about four million dollars on bacon a year, which applies to math by the outrageous numbers per year. That’s money that could go to many other things. I understand that the people who raise the pigs and sell them for bacon and other things wouldn't benefit from lowering the prices but, there are many other things out there that they can sell to make a living.
