So gas is slowly creeping towards $4.00 a gallon. That's nothing. Not only do we have to stock up on rice but now the more important foods are getting hit. Bacon and cooking oil! Please noooo!

Bacon has risen $6 a case and cooking oil is up to $47 a barrel campared to $17 dollars a barrel last year. This is serious! My question is what are Obama, Clinton, and McCain going to do about it? I haven't heard a word from them about bacon. How do I vote not knowing were they stand on this issue.

First I was forced to ride my bike to Wendy's and now I cannot afford the bacon cheeseburger when I get there. This definitely won't help my figure.

That is UNBELIEVABLE. And inhumane. I am going to take myself on the road, the campaign road, and run for president on these issues alone! I guarantee that I will win. Why wouldn't I? America is the fattest country in the world...obviously we care about bacon.

I will do my best!

Well, that explains it! I noticed my food bill had increased by $76 a week but didn't know why. Now I know, Ok.
You wonder how I stay young?
I eat bacon for breakfast,
bacon for lunch and I usually drink my dinner.

Bacon?! Cooking oil?!! If the price of GRAVY goes up I'm moving to France!!
That's how I want to go out...A gravy IV...just hang two bags of gravy hooked to a needle - one brown, and one country style and let her rip!!

The secret to having cheap bacon is to raise your own pigs!!!!!!!
