Commodity market prediction takes the Internet by storm

Good news! There is not an unavoidable bacon shortage looming in our future.

Bad news! What was actually being predicted was really an increase in meat prices across the board. Droughts have completely decimated this year's corn crop, and as corn is the stuff we usually feed our meat, it's going to cost more to raise a pig (or a cow, or a chicken) next year.
 
Key takeaways: There will still be meat, it's just going to be more expensive next year, and also don't trust the British when they offer you "bacon" because they actually mean Canadian bacon, which is different.
