Opting for that plate of bacon instead of a salad can actually help save the environment.

A newly released study conducted by Carnegie Mellon University researchers found that following the U.S. Department of Agriculture recommendations to eat more fruits, vegetables, dairy, and seafood is more harmful to the environment than eating meat.

According to the study, a vegetarian diet requires more greenhouse gas emissions per calorie than meat. ...

I love every cut of pork there is, but pork belly trumps the hind leg on any day.

Actually every day.

Just had a spectacular thought- in order to drive out muslims, and prevent further muslism from coming in to America- let’s turn the country into a pig stye

Sure it will stink, but we’ll have PLENTY of Bacon and be muslim free- a two-fer

If eating the planet would save bacon, I could sell the hell out of that. Thanks Olog-hai.

[P.O.E.]

There’s also the “table scraps” aspect:

Feed them to the pig in the yard

1)Cuts down on landfills, (reduce)
2)Creates compost, (recycle)
3)They can then be consumed in the form of pork (reuse)
