Worldwide Bacon Shortage Expected - kcentv.com - KCEN HD - Waco, Temple, and Killeen

(KCEN) -- Enjoy your bacon because it may not be available in the future.

That's because of a pork and bacon shortage that's expected around the world.

The Los Angeles Times is reporting the European Union's pig herd is declining at an alarming rate.

It's all tied to drought conditions in the U.S. that destroyed corn and soybean crops.

It became too expensive to feed the animals so many farmers reduced their herds.
