When George Orwell wrote in his classic novel Animal Farm that man and pig are almost identical he was closer to the truth than he realised, according to a new study.

Scientists have undertaken the largest ever study of the pig genome have found that swine are adaptable, easy to seduce with food and susceptible to domestication - much like humans.

The findings, published in the journal Nature, also show that pigs suffer from the same genetic and protein malfunctions that account for many human diseases, including Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s and obesity.

In Gangs of New York Daniel Lewis uses a pigs corpse to show Leonardo Dicaprio how to use a knife either to wound a man or kill him because the organs are in nearly the same positions.

No, no no, I'm a human being. I refuse to be a pig.

Wishing you peace, love and happiness, brother/sister.

I thought that we were a couple of steps up from apes ?, so is a piggy related to an ape,like cousins or something ? boy these posts get really weird at times, and some "scientists" have a serious "headbanger" syndrome.

Well, the cannibals of old Papua New Guinea did call human meat "long pig" for a reason...
Try to realize it's all within yourself / No-one else can make you change / And to see you're really only very small / And life flows on within you and without you. / We were talking about the love that's gone so cold and the people / Who gain the world and lose their soul / They don't know they can't see are you one of them? / When you've seen beyond yourself then you may find peace of mind / Is waiting there / And the time will come / when you see we're all one and life flows on within you and without you. ~ George Harrison

I read somewhere, years ago, that human flesh tastes very much like pork... after reading that, I can no longer eat pork unless it's heavily seasoned like Chinese kau yuk, char siu, or bacon, ham or the like.
