Fiona's pigs do sound like they are well cared for, live a good life and... are likely delicious. Being disconnected from our food source is a real problem, especially in the US. Most people have never killed an animal, cleaned it and processed the meat. It's an experience that will change the way you see your food and not necessarily in a way that steers towards vegetarianism but often in a way that gives a person a deeper respect for the life that was sacrificed for their own. That said, lab grown meat is here and I'll be interested to see how it effects the behavior of vegetarians.... especially my wife.
