I was going to give up pig meat because I genuinely like pigs.Grew up on a pig farm. They can be extremely intelligent and witty.But the reason I decided not to was recalling that pigs eat pigs.So if it’s good enough for them, it’s good enough for me.

Traveling salesman comes to a farm and sees a 3 legged pig. After concluding a sale, he asks farmer about pig. Farmer relates that pig saved him from raging bull. Salesman says “So that is how he lost his leg?”. The farmer replies “Nope, but a good pig like that, you can’t eat him all at once!”.
