Great news! The government has announced the formation of a new task force aimed at making sure the UK's workers have enough bacon for our sarnies.
The impressively titled Pig Meat Supply Chain Task Force will focus on, not unsurprisingly, getting the suppy chain working better in the pig industry.
Guru loves pigs or, more specifically, the meat you get from pigs. It puts Yours Truly in mind of some classic dialogue from The Simpsons when Lisa goes veggie:
Homer: Are you saying you're never going to eat any animal again? What about bacon?
Lisa: No.
Homer: Ham?
Lisa: No.
Homer: Pork chops?
Lisa: Dad, those all come from the same animal.
Homer: Heh heh heh. Ooh, yeah, right, Lisa. A wonderful, magical animal
Any move that is going to protect and serve the hundreds of thousands of oinkers across the UK gets Guru's thumbs up.
However, no word as yet from farming minister Jane Kennedy as to the members of the new task force.
Guru wonders whether the government will consider bringing in Rebecca Loos - the woman who claimed to have had an affair with David Beckham. Loos famously agreed to masturbate a pig in Swedish reality show The Farm.
That would certainly keep the nation's pigs happy and healthy.
