According to The Washington Post, bacon lovers can relax. John Anderson, an American Farm Bureau Federation economist, has put to rest last week’s fear-fest of a global bacon shortage that had everyone “all a Twitter,” when widespread panic broke out across social and mainstream media. According to the Post, “the alarm was quickly dismissed by the American Farm Bureau Federation as ‘baloney.’”

“Pork supplies will decrease slightly as we go into 2013,” Anderson said. “But the idea that there’ll be widespread shortages, that we’ll run out of pork, that’s really overblown.”
