Eat Ham, No Thank You Mam!

Ok bacon lovers don't freak out yet... 

While in New Zealand we lived next to a pig farmer or rather a cattle farmer who had pigs. One way that we partnered with him was by putting all of our food scraps into buckets that Farmer Dave would collect every day or two. 

After weeks of sending stinky, gross and sometimes moldy buckets of scraps I started to think about the ham, bacon and pork we were eating. If the pigs were eating that ^ then do I really want to put that into my body let alone the amount of fat and salt often found in pig meat. 

So my family is going off of pig!! Don't get me wrong I will make an occasional exception like when at people's houses, but for now we are sticking to healthier meats.
