BACON SHORTAGE
Bacon-lover that I am, this story made me sad, but you need to know about it. Agriculture experts are predicting a bacon shortage. The feed for pigs costs more this year, so fewer pigs are being raised, and it's going to trickle down to us. First, they say you'll see higher bacon prices, then bacon hoarders buying the stuff up, and finally, empty store shelves where the bacon used to be, all within a year. 

STOP TELEMARKETER CALLS
(You may want to share this story with friends!)

He died later at the hospital, and police are still looking for the shooters.
