1. I was going to do a lame copycat, but didn't feel like thinking up 10 reasons for not eating Pugs.
Since there is only one reason!

6. 'cause lagoons are so beautiful . . .
Edited on Sun Sep-23-07 09:24 PM by mzteris
and good for the environment.


A hog farm and waste lagoon as seen from the air, showing their proximity to the Neuse River ecosystem.


When 10 million hogs poop—and they poop a lot (four times the human rate)—where does it go? In North Carolina, it goes into open cesspools, or "lagoons," which are clay-lined pits. No synthetic liners required. The "solids" sink to the bottom, the residual liquid is sprayed onto agriculture fields as fertilizer. This disposal method has the single virtue of being cheap. Its downsides are many, however: Most of the nitrogen goes into the air as ammonia, which can really stink; the ammonia pollutes nearby watersheds when it comes back to earth; and when the cesspools leak, as they do, groundwater supplies are contaminated.

8. We should eat them



...before they eat us. Have you ever been around those big hogs on a farm? They are wicked scary....so we have to eat them, it's a matter of survival.

Cheers

PS.....if you are going into GD, you're gonna need backup.

16. Reason #2
To piss off the people who say you shouldn't eat pig

(BTW I'm Jewish, I keep Kosher, and I don't give a rat's patooti if someone eat's pig, just don't bring it into my apartment. Thank you!) :)
