WASHINGTON, April 30 (Reuters) - U.S. hog prices could rise by 15 percent to 25 percent and consumer prices for pork by 10 percent to 12 percent as a result of a virus that has killed some 7 million piglets in the United States, the National Pork Producers Council said on Wednesday.

But because consumer demand for pork has so far not slipped in response to rising prices, the industry is poised for a strong financial year, NPPC President Howard Hill said in testimony prepared for a House Agriculture Committee panel.

1. I bought bacon today...

ranged in price from 6.99 to 3.99 (on sale). Since the brand on sale is a good brand, I got it... but just a couple of weeks ago I only paid 4.69 for the brand now priced at 6.99.

Going to be a long summer....

2. Turkey bacon tastes good to me.

Supposedly it's better for you, and I believe it costs less.
I allot myself one strip per day, and cook it in the microwave, wrapped in a paper towel, so as not to have another skillet to clean.
