It's only a matter of time before bacon is regulated like other disease-producing substances such as cigarettes. I figure a nice 100% bacon tax ought to limit demand somewhat. The funds can go to pay for govt-funded liposuction.

See, yet another world-wide problem solved by the Supreme Counsel of GRM Megadorks in less than 20 posts. Bravo!
I always enjoy reading articles written by morons. Bacon will still be around, it will be a bit more expensive, and the people who grow pigs may be able to avoid financial collapse.
Besides, bacon can be home cured. Al you need is a dead pig, or a live one and a gun, a hollow tree, some smoke, salt...
North Carolina just removed the season on "wild boar" declared all of them "feral pigs" and advised everyone that they are in season whenever anything else is in season.
Too many escaped during some of the past few hurricanes and they are doing a serious number on the ecology.
(edit to add: yes, I am building a 6.8 SPC AR-15 for just this reason!)

Gators are frickin DELICIOUS. I wish I was in the south so I could get the meat for less than 15$/lb

I'll have you know I actually clicked that link, and frankly, I was disappointed.

This!
In fl we have a hog season, but they can be taken year round on private land. It's the only animal we will shoot on our property other than venomous snakes. Believe me the fist sign of em the FAL with a spare mag comes out, and we go looking. Too many dogs and kids on the property to let em stay. A phone call to a friend after finding em results in meat in the fridge. He's a whole lot more efficient and wastes less than I do when it comes to cleaning em, and I give him half of it for doing it for me.

My dad finally received his RRA 6.8 upper a month ago. I've done some target shooting with it but it's still a virgin weapon.
Invest in bacon futures now!!!!
Frog Legs might finally get their due respect as a delicious breakfast meat.

Those bastards are mean. Hog hunting was the only time my dad & uncle would make me stay home when I was a kid.
Still, this is bacon we're talking about..

Bacon bearin' critters cannot just amble around the underbrush being friendly. Nevermind the bacon, they also carry ham and pulled pork under that vaguely pig-like exterior. Had they not evolved all that meanness to compensate for their deliciousness they would have been extinct long ago. They might be still if other predators discover apple wood smoking processes.
