My family’s preferred dinner meals is smothered pork chops. From the aroma of the kitchen to the juicy, pork chops coming off of the stove. Oftentimes, my husband and I make dinner together to enjoy some quality time and conversation while making an enjoyable meal, but not with smoother pork chops.

In his article “Boss Hog: The Dark Side of America’s Top Pork Producer,” (Rolling Stone Magazine, December 14, 2006) Jeff Teitz reports that not only are millions upon millions of pigs being abused and slaughtered each year by America’s largest pork producer, but, in turn, the waste produced by those pigs is polluting, destroying, and even killing others.
