]]> Comment on Rolling Stone “Boss Hog” by The Red Pig http://wannaveg.com/2007/01/15/rolling-stone-boss-hog/comment-page-1/#comment-6880 The Red Pig Thu, 15 Dec 2011 02:31:43 +0000 http://wannaveg.com/2007/01/15/rolling-stone-boss-hog/#comment-6880 Unfortunately the consumer's drive for lower cost food has led us to this sorry state. There is however an alternative to commercially farmed pork. Try searching specality butchers or delis to find what we in Ireland call "rare breed" pork products. This is meat from the older breeds which are slower growing but far superior in taste, usually reared outdoors so the animals have a more natural and happy life. I keep a few of these pigs (Tamworths) and supply family and friends so I like to think I am doing my bit in some small way to stand against the large corporations like Smithfield while at the same time ensuring at least some of the food I eat is ethically produced.

This effectivly cooks them first. Then it's just a matter of putting them on the grill to add the BBQ'ed flavor. I never tried soking them first, I'll give that a shot.

Consciousness is the first step to action. You being aware and disheartened with the inhumane process of raising pigs for pork does make a difference. Spread the word whenever you feel it's appropriate, the more we all know, the more we can change. Hi Miya, your comment is appreciated. Consciousness is the first step to action.

Going into it we had a goal of raising $1,000 but because of the amazing folks dedicated to reducing farm animal suffering, we were able to raise almost double that. Hosting an event like this is a great way to raise money and have a good time in the process. It also provides a way for people that believe in and support a cause to meet and get to know each other.

But, this is a site for meat-eaters to go vegetarian one day a week. This is not a site for meat eaters to become vegan full-time. There are plenty of sites out there that accomplish this (I believe your myspace page is one of them). We try to offer a different option for full-time meat eaters to get acquainted with a vegetarian diet. I'd love everyone to be vegan (including myself)...but some of us need to take baby steps to realize our potential.
