NEWS   APRIL 12, 2020 '...severe, perhaps disastrous, repercussions' Smithfield Foods, one of the nation's largest meat producers, has an ominous warning about America's food supply. The company announced on Sunday that it was closing its Sioux Falls, South Dakota, plant after nearly 300 employees there tested positive for coronavirus, the Associated Press reported.

Here’s How You Can Help Out Restaurants and Their Laid-Off Staff

There are so many ways to pitch in. By  Tim Nelson   March 20, 2020 As you’re no doubt realized by now, we’re in the beginning of what could be a historically bad time for bars and restaurants. The precipitous drop in revenue (even for restaurants who can still deliver) has and will continue to inspire widespread layoffs, given that the hospitality business model isn’t designed to withstand prolonged service disruptions. Even wildly successful establishments and well-known restaurateurs fear that the places we love to eat and drink will be long gone by the time Coronavirus is a thing of the past. So what is to be done? Alex Stupak, chef and owner at New York restaurants like Empellón, makes a  compelling case  for significant financial assistance from the federal government.

Meat Sales Are Soaring, But Nobody Seems to Be Buying Bacon

Apparently, the cured pork product isn't a popular stockpile staple. By Jelisa Castrodale  Updated April 01, 2020 If you've been able to get out of your house and into a  supermarket  lately, you've probably spotted a number of bare shelves scattered throughout the store. Sure, all of the toilet paper has been sold out for what feels like years, but meat and dairy cases have also been empty, and good luck if you need eggs, bananas, or peanut butter. But according to  Bloomberg , nobody seems to be panic-buying bacon right now. The U.S. Department of Agriculture says that the price of pork bellies has dropped to 41 cents per pound, which is the lowest they've been since 1999. (And here's a shoutout to those halcyon days in 1999, back when we all thought that the worst thing we'd ever have to endure was Jar Jar Binks.) Shoppers haven't completely abandoned buying bacon, it's just that most of us would rather have it at a restaurant or
