Bling Posted November 16, 2012 #1 Share Posted November 16, 2012 One Chinese pig farmer says he has an unusual way to produce better tasting bacon. Huang Demin of Ningxiang county in Hunan province makes his pigs dive, everyday, from a roughly ten-foot-tall wooden platform into a pond. http://www.huffingto..._n_2146533.html Not sure about this....seems cruel to me 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EllJay Posted November 16, 2012 #2 Share Posted November 16, 2012 (edited) Diving pigs 'make better bacon' Of course. Everyone knows that. BTW, I read Divine Pigs at first. That would be even weirder. Edited November 17, 2012 by EllJay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freetoroam Posted November 16, 2012 #3 Share Posted November 16, 2012 If true, what made him think of making the pig dive in the first place to see if it made better tasting meat? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grandpa Greenman Posted November 16, 2012 #4 Share Posted November 16, 2012 I lost interest in the pigs when I saw the bacon bikini top at the bottom of the page. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bling Posted November 16, 2012 Author #5 Share Posted November 16, 2012 I didn't scroll down that far to see the bacon bikini at first - I wish I hadn't now! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashotep Posted November 17, 2012 #6 Share Posted November 17, 2012 This seems like a little much to me. Let the pig be a pig. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pupp3t Posted November 17, 2012 #7 Share Posted November 17, 2012 Oye, us humans are weird. That's just crazy nonsense. Kind of like trying to make beef more tender by having dynamite explode near it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
libstaK Posted November 17, 2012 #8 Share Posted November 17, 2012 I wonder if the flavour that makes bacon so appealing is enhanced by the adrenalin borne of fear in making the jumps. Or, if they do it every day and overcome their fear, come to enjoy it immensely in fact, is it enhanced due to the neuropeptides that are produced, either way? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+and-then Posted November 17, 2012 #9 Share Posted November 17, 2012 The experience is bound to strengthen them physically so perhaps they lay down more muscle? Sounds a little scary for the poor buggers - at least at first. They are very intelligent creatures. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eldorado Posted November 17, 2012 #10 Share Posted November 17, 2012 They certainly do when they dive into a frying pan. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
