Food for thought - The Realities of Industrial Pork Production

Warning, this is not pretty. Nor however are the conditions that over 99% of the livestock raised for meat in this country. Part of this blog is going to be a discussion on food itself, where it comes from, what goes into creating it, moving it, preparing it, eating it and cleaning up after it. Among the many food blogs that I read, I found an article on Chef Chris Cosentino's website referring to an article in the Rolling Stone Magazine (of all things) discussing the production of pork. While I won't go into details nor show the picks, you should have a look for yourself here.

Food for thought indeed.
