My shock was the communities had no choice & knowing how the large commercial pork farms are forced to run, pork raised that way fatty bits OR the leaner cuts are going to be inherently detrimental.
Remember this was in the US southeast.
Home of some of the largest most awful pig farms. No judgements on the farmers forced to operate this way, no mistake they ARE financially forced to operate this way or go bankrupt.
Have heard a bit about the specialty & heritage breeds of pigs.
Some are shockingly beautiful breeds!
You mean shockingly tasty :D
I am not a veggie but I sometimes feel bad about meeting my food because yeah I respect the creature and they are doing me a service but pigs are so smart.
Same thing with octopuses, they are hyper intelligent and they happen to be tasty too. Conundrums. Circle of life.
We just need to be focussed on natural ways of raising the animals, free range, pastured, whatever, if we are going to eat them they should live their natural 'style' and be respected. in my opinion.
