if i find it in a store i will definitely buy free-range bacon instead of the tortured commercial shit i am eating now
nice video !

now there is the problem. Firstly, I prefer to see pigs rutting in woods and eating acorns and other goodies. Secondly and most importantly the problem with British pork and bacon is two fold 1) the quality of feed is bad – it creates brown meat instead of the white flesh you get from French reared pigs that are allowed to rut in woods, 2) the levels of cod-liver oil in British pork is dreadful which gives the pork and bacon that oily look and fishy taste.
the pig is a unatural animal made up from A-RAT-Dog-cat all those genes make up a pig and the pig is a filthy animal its purpose was 2 clean up all the filth on the earth people are not eating pork asmuch because people in investigating the pig and seeing its a unclean animal if u paw coke or a spirit alcohol over raw pork 2hours later magits grow on the pork
If you want to make stupid comments, at least type it in a what so we can understand the arguments. What is this rat-dot-cat you speak of?
People aren’t eating pork as much? We are eating pork, and loads if it. They are not filthy animals. They don’t have sweat glands, so they use water and mud to cool themselves off.
Might I add bacon is tasty.
And in regards to all other comments, indeed, pigs running around in their ‘natural habitat’ clearly has a better taste than those locked inside.
they’re so cute maybe not eating them is a good thing?
mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm bacon!!!!!
we should eat bacon and pork beacuse its like the food chain dogs try to eat cats (but never succeed) cats eat rats lions eat those weirrd reindeer things. etc but if you dont wont to eat it fair play to you!!!.
bacon is tasteeee
Animal aid sent about 10 reports to Jamie Oliver about the shocking conditions and treatment of pigs in British factory farms. He ignored them and pretented on his Channel 4 prog, that everything was good about the pig industry. Nothing could be further from the truth. It was wonderfull to see these pigs here. They are so intelligent and can be trained just like a dog.
I miss the River Cottage programs on TV. It so nice to see these happy pigs living with Hugh.
apparently pigs are suposed to be more intelligent than dogs lol
so we’re supposed to be glad eating really happy and intelligent animals? what a funny logic.. lol..
now since pigs are at least as smart as dogs.. how about this analogy:
you have a dog who lives happily in his natural world… and because he’s a happy dog, he’ll make great food.. do you see the logic? =.=
If you’re going to eat meat then yea…wouldn’t you want the animal not to be a sufferer?
Ya know I heard humans taste like pig.. but we don’t eat each other. I don’t know where I’m going with this… *runs away*

Seriously hope (for your sake) you are taking the proverbial p*ss.
Hi Jamie, I adore cooking!!
