The news? Britain’s National Pig Association’s prediction that a shortage of pork and bacon will befall global markets next year, a result of failed maize and soya harvests that supply pig herders with feed.
Or if you sympathize with Twitter personality-author @RuthBourdain , it’s a fulfillment of Mayan prophecy and vegans shall soon rule the world.
As predicted by the Mayans, the global bacon shortage will ultimately lead to the vegan apocalypse.

Bacon lovers have jumped on Twitter to express their various stages of grief, including denial (@FatChickinLA Nooooooooo it is a nightmare.), depression (@AJackart I am officially on suicide watch, this is tragic!) and blame (@TylerMachado Maybe we wouldn't be facing a bacon shortage if you twee hipsters didn't put bacon on cupcakes, in mixed drinks, etc.).
But in the words of Douglas Adams , don’t panic. We’ve compiled a few tips from level-headed tweeters to help calm pork-xiety.
Bacon shortage next year? Time to start breeding pigs and be Rollin in the dough.

With the impending bacon shortage I have no choice but to consider turning my alley into a pig farm...

A worldwide pork shortage is predicted for next year. So we should probably get all our bacon related tweets in now.

This is surely referencing the global bacon shortage. RT @altrazerodrop: "Where there is no struggle, there is no strength."

Congress seems more likely to act to solve the bacon shortage than sequestration.
