I wish I could say this surprises me, but it doesn't. I haven't eaten pork for almost five years now for religious / purity reasons, and the fact I didn't want to participate in that industry - and my state is a huge pork producing state.

I'm very much against factory farming myself. Given my current monofilament budget, I can't always avoid commercially produced meat. But we do like to buy from a nearby Amish meat market when we can, and they buy local pasture-raised animals for slaughter. Much better food.
