i could see american pork being a serious and legitimate reason to move to the united states. there aren't many reasons to move here. pork. canyons. good ripe peaches. the sound of the surf in autumn on the coast of maine. and a good bang for your real estate buck right about now. and reeses peanut butter cups. thats about it.

Pork canyons

Waterfalls of tenderloins.

I keep kosher so I probably don't belong in this thread tbh but I have never heard a non-american talk about how great american pork is

We have a pretty well-liked film and story tradition about pigs that employ skills beyond pigdom so we don't eat their delicious bodies.

I ordered lobster bisque for dinner tonight and they gave me pork & bean soup instead. I forgot to ask the waitress if the pork was American after I clobbered her with the pepper grinder politely pointed out her error and exchanged the Babe soup for something more edible.

"but I have never heard a non-american talk about how great american pork is"

maybe they've never had it! good pork bbq can turn sane men mad! dripping off the bone mad!

aw you can't read the rolling stone article on smithfield farms anymore

pigs probably rule everywhere. i know they do. i've had awesome euro pig. so sad. they don't know how delicious they are!

no i know ameri-swine production is a horror show and we are all going to hell.

remember reading about pig country where the people around the plants would walk outside their houses and pass out on their front lawn from the fumes. how if you fell in the poop pits you were a goner.

rolling stone article on smithfield famrs

LOTS of things can kill you here. that's just one of the many reasons not to move here. unless you are used to constant gunfire then you don't care and this place is heaven on earth. kinda.

love that smithfield foods has invested pretty heavily in SEO so that when you search for the rollingstone article you just get this

http://www.smithfieldfoods.com/RollingStone/

which is an absolute treat to read because of all the non-rebuttals in it

All pork producers in North Carolina, including the company's contract growers, operate waste treatment systems in accordance with state regulatory requirements.

e.g. it MUST be fine it meets all the requirements!

hadn't read this article before, o_O

'BOSSHOG' FICTION #8
In addition, the waste nurses more than 100 microbial pathogens that can cause illness in humans, including salmonella, cryptosporidium, strepoocolli and girardia. Each gram of hog shit can contain as much as 100 million fecal coliform bacteria.
FACT #8
North Carolina State University has done a great deal of research on the subject of microbial pathogens, the details of which can be found on the NCSU website.

looool, we won't say what the research says nor give you the direct link to the article, you have to search for it yourself on the university's website

'BOSSHOG' FICTION #9
The liquid in them is not brown. The interactions between the bacteria and blood and afterbirths and stillborn piglets and urine and excrements and chemicals and drugs turn the lagoons pink.
FACT #9
Again, a false assumption by an author unfamiliar with the science of raising hogs.
A pink lagoon is a healthy lagoon. That's a sign of bacteria doing what it should be doing. It's indicative of lower odor and lower nutrient content.
Black would be an indication of unhealthy lagoons.

let me repeat, a pink lagoon is a healthy lagoon

a healthy lagoon

a healthy lagoon

In fairness to that one there is such a thing as pink bacteria. But yeah ahahaha those rebuttals are really hilarious weaselwording!

And that RS article is one of many reasons why I wont go near pork. BLegh.

yeah that's the same article i read. that was a while ago. yeah all gross and all that. i guess nobody can stop them? they must be more powerful than the govt.

it's also fun to read the two in tandem to see all the stuff that smithfield foods DIDN'T try to refute from the original article

By the way, if you think that chicken slum near Fayetteville, AR looks like a lousy vacation destination, you you are more correct than you imagine.

I hear great things about American pork from a non-American! All the time.

Is beef not as much of a staple in parts of Europe as it is in the US? I understand you can raise pigs in 10 sq feet on your household garbage, as opposed to cattle who need a fuck-ton of pasture and resources, I'm just saying, who can eat pork 6 days a week?

http://www.warhol.org/uploadedImages/Warhol_Site/Warhol/Calendar/Calendar_Event_Images/CA_20101117_andywarholsporkdiscussion_main.JPG

always had the impression that beef/chicken were the 'default meat' in america and pork's #3 whereas pork was the default meat in much of europe

don't really get the obsession over beef tbqh

Serious answer - poor husbandry standards; poor diet; breeds bred for size, fast growth and lean meat; butchered to trim every possible ounce of fat off, no love. (to be fair this goes for most pork everywhere)

iatee, I think the same as you. Realize now how much I love fresh roast beef with it's beefy rare taste. I used to consider pork the "luxury" choice for fattiness and decadence, which is odd because a trimmed chop has almost no fat at all, but somehow I think of pork roast as "special occasion" stuff and beef as "every-day".
