actuually only grain produces less flavour. meat is better on pasture.

[allencrider]

Grain, just like factory CAFO farming. No thanks. I can do a lot better than that, but then I'm no expertvillage.

@veganfreegan

yes, i understand pigs are very clever (all animals are!), but regardless of that, they'll still going to be kept for meant, milk, etc.

a good stockman (and industry ISN'T a good stockman!) will never inflict any harm other than when absolutelly neccessary. this certainly includes a respect for the animal, a natural surrounding surrounding and a quick death.

so... slaughterhouse OOONE isuue.... here something COMPLETELY different.

[bluemoondiadochi]

@annieffa .....so did i say anything wrong? honestly i don't get where you're shooting at.... i meant only-grain diet vs. a diverse pasture diet.

yes, for flavor marbling is most important. lean, pasture pigs can have more marbling (properly: inter-muscular fat) and taste better than fat, only-grain fed pigs.

[annieffa]

@bluemoondiadochi I would have to disagree. Flavor comes from fat marbling inside the meat. Grain makes the animal gain more fat.

@veganfreegan this video obviously isn't a slaughter house and they are striving to give the pigs good living conditions. and as stated in one of her other videos her fam. kills 1 pig a year. You've obviously never owned hogs, for all their intelligence they can be pretty vicious. I can only hope you'll stumble on a wild boar while out on one of your pansy naturewalks, see how far pascifist debating of their finer qualities gets you against a raging 1000lb hog. take your bullshit elsewhere.
