Cooked bacon slices are arranged for a photograph in Washington, D.C., U.S., on Thursday, Aug. 14, 2014. Declining supplies of pigs that resulted from a deadly virus that spread across 30 states since the outbreak began last year have pushed up retail-bacon prices 10 percent in 2014 to $6.106 a pound in June, the highest since at least 1980.
