Sorry to spoil the bacon fun, but as a veg, I could only let it go on so long. The pork industry is rotten to the core. - Ňicķ

I buy my pork related products from sources that aren't horrible. If you buy your meat from Whole Foods, you'll pay more but get much higher quality meat that's nothing like the company profiled. Yes, much of the pork industry is disgusting. - Internet's Tad

Nick, THANK YOU SOOO MUCH FOR POSTING THIS!!!!! - Anna Haro

I'm not a vegetarian now, but when I lived in rural Missouri I was. Whole Foods cannot be found on every street corner, and not everyone can afford it anyway. What's really sad is that if you're poor in the midwest you're probably eating pork and therefore contributing to massive pig-shit lagoons that are extremely dangerous to your own safety. Vegetarianism is a nutritious and affordable habit we could all learn something from. - Jason Wehmhoener

don't blame me! I'm Hallal - Noah David Simon

Luter, the owner of Smithfield, wants to expand in Europe, particularly in Poland and Romania. The bastard! After having killed millions of fish, made countless people sick here in the US, and ruined rivers and watersheds in North Carolina for everybody, now wants to do the same in Europe. And smarmy politicians here in the States have done nothing to stop him -- after getting hundreds of thousands of dollars in donations from him, that is. People like this are the real terrorists. - Raoul Pop

We are the Veggie Buzzkill. - Chris Baskind

God Bless you Corie! ;) - Anna Haro

It's why I don't eat meat, thanks for this post. Reblogging. - Ryan

My pork does not come from these sorts of places. However, I will never buy Smithfield again even in an emergency pinch situation. Thanks for the link. - ThePicMan

I don't eat much meat at home, but this is certainly going to make me rethink that order of bacon and eggs at a diner. - Nicholas Molnar

There goes my love of bacon. - Mark Wilson

I just emailed Paula Dean the link to this RS article. I am sure she will never see it, but I am sick of her Smithfield commercials on FoodTV. - ThePicMan
