This American Life: Pig Farming

Hey it has been a long time pig friends!  I watched the first season of the TV/Showtime version of This American Life tonight (overall very good and available for streaming on Netflix). The last episode had a pretty great segment on factory pig farming, with lots of really great footage. I recommend watching it. It is very interesting, but sadly it makes me not want to eat commercial pork (which I cannot entirely give up yet…see blog below). That’s ok though, cause it makes me really want to raise some hogs of my own. Next year’s project: raising pigs. I will have a freezer full of good pork. Stay tuned.

“If God didn’t want us to eat animals, why did he make them out of meat?”

Hello again everybody, crushinator here. I was talking to my old pal Piggie and lamenting the sorry state of his blog, so I volunteered to help him out. Here’s the result–a deletion of 40,000+ spam comments and an upgrade to WP 3.

I’d like to thank Dennis Yuppy for his article on mass comment spam deletion–he led me to the very handy “Delete Pending Comments” plugin (hats off to the developer too, of course). What a relief. No more casino/viagra/poker/porn links (barring those Piggie himself posts here) and hopefully an end to Firefox’s warnings about visiting the site (which probably dropped the readership from 7 to about nothin’).

So sit back and get ready for some very sporadic posts about bacon and sausages and farming maybe. Farming meat, that is. Or even even about spam.
