 Not the kind of thing I'd look at.  But what I don't get is how the 
"slow food" style hog-killing gets you closer to your meat-eatingt.

As if killing the animal yourself (humanely?) brings out our own 
humanity and makes us feel better about eating it!!

I guess I just take that organic/free range stuff for granted, so I'm 
immunized by labels that could be false.

But I'm a carnivore (just not a pig eater).

Are we all hypocrites?
