Everyone Stop Eating My Favorite Stuff

Hey guys,

I'm wicked serious today.



 Alright, look, I'm a pretty low maintenance, zen kind of gal**, but this shit is getting ridiculous.  Although Buzzfeed has given me 40 adorable reasons to be happy about it, I'm not okay with this bacon shortage.  You know why?  I mean, other than the fact that bacon is the crack of foods.  Even my vegetarian friends are like, "dude, bacon smells sooooo gooooood!".  That's a true story.  But back to my rant.

Bacon is just the latest in a long line of my favorite foods to be caught in the midst of a shortage scandal.  First, coffee, then strawberries and salmon, now bacon and that's just the tip of the shortage iceberg.  This is simply unacceptable. 

First of all, are we such greedy, greedy, bastards, that we need to make this?

Bacon shortage?  Color me shocked!

Look, I don't want to get all preachy on your interweb asses, but can't we all enjoy our favorite things without gluttonous, environment-destroying behavior?  Everybody just be cool, know where your food is coming from, and take care of the planet.  Plants and creatures should not be in shortage because of human greed and blissful ignorance.  Let's all play nice and share the bacon....

That sounds dirty, right?  Like hide the sausage?  Ew, anyway....

Here are some links I like that teach me about this stuff:

For information on fishes and seafood, visit the Seafood Watch site

For general environmental news and information visit the Environmental Working Group

and, for veggie-friendly recipes and tips (eating less meat really is good for you and the earth), visit Meatless Mondays

Alright, no more ranting about food, unless we actually do run out of coffee, then god help you all.

Peace, Love, and Bacon,
Mel
