Russ Kremer on the threat of Industrial Hog Confinement Operations . . .

pigs pigs pigs . . . and more pigs. Joel Salatin (www.polyfacefarms.com), in an email about the swine flu outbreak, wrote "I guess you saw where Smithfield has a 950,000 confinement hog operation in the locality at the epicenter of the outbreak. Strange coincidence." Reminded me what Russ Kremer said about concentrating too many of anything . . .

Oh the hog industry is just sick! I'm glad that people are going against the grain.

My mother an I no longer eat pork products. Not only is it too risky (personally, for us) with regard to all the antibiotics and hormones they are injected with, pork meat doesn't even taste the way it used to. As far as I'm concerned, the meat itself tastes like cardboard. Many people today don't even know what good, fresh food tastes like. They have poisoned our food.
